Detailed Description

A set associative indexing policy.

See also: gem5 Memory System

The set associative indexing policy has an immutable/identity mapping, so a value x is always mapped to set x, independent of the way, that is, Hash(A, 0) = Hash(A, 1) = Hash(A, N-1), where N is the number of ways.

For example, let's assume address A maps to set 3 on way 0. This policy makes so that A is also mappable to set 3 on every other way. Visually, the possible locations of A are, for a table with 4 ways and 8 sets: Way 0 1 2 3 Set _ _ _ _ 0 |_| |_| |_| |_| 1 |_| |_| |_| |_| 2 |_| |_| |_| |_| 3 |X| |X| |X| |X| 4 |_| |_| |_| |_| 5 |_| |_| |_| |_| 6 |_| |_| |_| |_| 7 |_| |_| |_| |_|

◆ getPossibleEntries()

std::vector< ReplaceableEntry * > gem5::SetAssociative::getPossibleEntries ( const Addr addr ) const

overridevirtual

Find all possible entries for insertion and replacement of an address.

Should be called immediately before ReplacementPolicy's findVictim() not to break cache resizing. Returns entries in all ways belonging to the set of the address.

Parameters

addr	The addr to a find possible entries for.

Returns: The possible entries.

Implements gem5::BaseIndexingPolicy.

◆ regenerateAddr()

Addr gem5::SetAssociative::regenerateAddr	(	const Addr	tag,
		const ReplaceableEntry *	entry
	)		const

overridevirtual

Regenerate an entry's address from its tag and assigned set and way.

Parameters

tag	The tag bits.
entry	The entry.

Returns: the entry's original addr value.

Implements gem5::BaseIndexingPolicy.
