Detailed Description

A superblock is composed of sub-blocks, and each sub-block has information regarding its superblock and a pointer to its superblock tag.

A superblock can be seen as a variation of a sector block, and therefore we use a sector nomenclature.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ OverwriteType

enum gem5::CompressionBlk::OverwriteType : int

When an overwrite happens, the data size may change an not fit in its current container any longer.

This enum declared which kind of size change happened in this situation.

Enumerator
DATA_CONTRACTION	New data contents are considered smaller than previous contents.
UNCHANGED	New and old contents are considered of similar sizes.
DATA_EXPANSION	New data contents are considered larger than previous contents.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkExpansionContraction()

CompressionBlk::OverwriteType gem5::CompressionBlk::checkExpansionContraction ( const std::size_t size ) const

Determines if changing the size of the block will cause a data expansion (new size is bigger) or contraction (new size is smaller).

Sizes are not necessarily compared at at bit granularities (e.g., 20 bits is considered equal to 23 bits when blocks use 32-bit spaces as minimum allocation units).

Parameters

size	The new compressed size.

Returns: Type of size change.

See also: OverwriteType.

◆ operator=() [1/3]

CacheBlk & gem5::CompressionBlk::operator= ( CacheBlk && other )

overridevirtual

Move assignment operator.

This should only be used to move an existing valid entry into an invalid one, not to create a new entry. In the end the valid entry will become invalid, and the invalid, valid. All location related variables will remain the same, that is, an entry cannot move its data, just its metadata contents.

◆ operator=() [2/3]

CompressionBlk & gem5::CompressionBlk::operator= ( CompressionBlk && other )

Move assignment operator.
