◆ calculateCompressionFactor()

uint8_t gem5::SuperBlk::calculateCompressionFactor ( const std::size_t size ) const

Calculate the compression factor (cf) given a compressed size and the maximum compression ratio.

Therefore cf is: 1 if comp_size > blk_size/2, 2 if comp_size > blk_size/4, 4 if comp_size > blk_size/8, 8 if comp_size > blk_size/16, and so on.

Parameters

size	The compressed size.

Returns: Compression factor corresponding to the size.

◆ canCoAllocate()

bool gem5::SuperBlk::canCoAllocate ( const std::size_t compressed_size ) const

Checks whether a superblock can co-allocate given compressed data block.

Parameters

compressed_size Size, in bits, of new block to allocate.

Returns: True if block can be co-allocated in superblock.

◆ getCompressionFactor()

uint8_t gem5::SuperBlk::getCompressionFactor ( ) const

Get the compression factor of this superblock.

Returns: The compression factor.

◆ invalidate()

void gem5::SuperBlk::invalidate ( )

overridevirtual

Invalidate the block.

Its contents are no longer valid.

Reimplemented from gem5::TaggedEntry.

Definition at line 177 of file super_blk.cc.

References compressionFactor, and gem5::TaggedEntry::invalidate().

◆ isCompressed()

bool gem5::SuperBlk::isCompressed ( const CompressionBlk * ignored_blk = nullptr ) const

Returns whether the superblock contains compressed blocks or not.

By default, if not blocks are valid, the superblock is compressible.

Parameters

ignored_blk If provided don't consider the given block.

Returns: The compressibility state of the superblock.

◆ print()

std::string gem5::SuperBlk::print ( ) const

overridevirtual

Print relevant information for this sector block and its sub-blocks.

Returns: A string with the contents of the sector block.

◆ setBlkSize()

void gem5::SuperBlk::setBlkSize ( const std::size_t blk_size )

Set block size.

Should be called only once, when initializing blocks.

Parameters

blk_size The uncompressed block size.

Referenced by gem5::CompressedTags::tagsInit().

◆ setCompressionFactor()

void gem5::SuperBlk::setCompressionFactor ( const uint8_t compression_factor )

Set the compression factor of this superblock.

Parameters

compression_factor The new compression factor.
