Detailed Description

Mechanism that allows us to simultaneously collect miss statistics for multiple caches.

Currently, we keep track of caches from a set minimum size of interest up to the actual cache size.

Member Function Documentation

◆ check()

void gem5::FALRU::CacheTracking::check	(	const FALRUBlk *	head,
		const FALRUBlk *	tail
	)		const

Check that the tracking mechanism is in consistent state.

Iterate from the head (MRU) to the tail (LRU) of the list of blocks and assert the inCachesMask and the boundaries are in consistent state.

Parameters

head	the MRU block of the actual cache
head	the LRU block of the actual cache

◆ init()

void gem5::FALRU::CacheTracking::init	(	FALRUBlk *	head,
		FALRUBlk *	tail
	)

Initialiaze cache blocks and the tracking mechanism.

All blocks in the cache need to be initialized once.

Parameters

blk	the MRU block
blk	the LRU block

Definition at line 363 of file fa_lru.cc.

◆ moveBlockToHead()

void gem5::FALRU::CacheTracking::moveBlockToHead ( FALRUBlk * blk )

Update boundaries as a block will be moved to the MRU.

For all caches that didn't fit the block before moving it, we move their boundaries one block closer to the MRU. We also update InCacheMasks as neccessary.

Parameters

blk	the block that will be moved to the head

◆ moveBlockToTail()

void gem5::FALRU::CacheTracking::moveBlockToTail ( FALRUBlk * blk )

Update boundaries as a block will be moved to the LRU.

For all caches that fitted the block before moving it, we move their boundaries one block closer to the LRU. We also update InCacheMasks as neccessary.

Parameters

blk	the block that will be moved to the head

Definition at line 416 of file fa_lru.cc.

◆ recordAccess()

void gem5::FALRU::CacheTracking::recordAccess ( FALRUBlk * blk )

Notify of a block access.

This should be called every time a block is accessed and it updates statistics. If the input block is nullptr then we treat the access as a miss. The block's InCacheMask determines the caches in which the block fits.

Parameters

blk	the block to record the access for
