Detailed Description

The communication monitor is a SimObject which can monitor statistics of the communication happening between two ports in the memory system.

Currently the following stats are implemented: Histograms of read/write transactions, read/write burst lengths, read/write bandwidth, outstanding read/write requests, read latency and inter transaction time (read-read, write-write, read/write-read/write). Furthermore it allows to capture the number of accesses to an address over time ("heat map"). All stats can be disabled from Python.

◆ getPort()

Port & gem5::CommMonitor::getPort	(	const std::string &	if_name,
		PortID	idx = `InvalidPortID`
	)

overridevirtual

Get a port with a given name and index.

This is used at binding time and returns a reference to a protocol-agnostic port.

gem5 has a request and response port interface. All memory objects are connected together via ports. These ports provide a rigid interface between these memory objects. These ports implement three different memory system modes: timing, atomic, and functional. The most important mode is the timing mode and here timing mode is used for conducting cycle-level timing experiments. The other modes are only used in special circumstances and should not be used to conduct cycle-level timing experiments. The other modes are only used in special circumstances. These ports allow SimObjects to communicate with each other.

Parameters

if_name	Port name
idx	Index in the case of a VectorPort

Returns: A reference to the given port
