Detailed Description

Each System object in gem5 is responsible for a set of RequestorIDs which identify different sources for memory requests within that System.

Each object within the memory system is responsible for requesting an ID if it needs one, and then using that ID in the requests it sends out.

When a simulation has multiple System objects within it, components registered with different Systems may be able to interact through the memory system. If an object uses a RequestorID it got from its parent System, and that ends up being handled by an object which is using a different parent, the target object may misinterpret or misattribute that ID, or if the number of IDs in the two systems are different, it might even index an array based on the requestor out of bounds.

This SysBridge object helps handle that situation by translating requests going across it in either direction, upstream or downstream, so that they always have a RequestorID which is valid in the current System. They register themselves as a Requestor in each System, and use that ID in the foreign System, restoring the original ID as the request makes its way back to its source.

Example:

One System with a CPU in it.

sys1 = System(...) sys1.cpu = CPU(...)

One System with memory in it.

sys2 = System(...) sys2.memory = Memory(...)

A SysBridge for crossing from sys1 to sys2.

sys2.sys_bridge = SysBridge( source=sys1, target=sys2, target_port=sys2.memory.port, source_port=sys1.cpu.port)

Member Function Documentation

◆ getPort()

Port & gem5::SysBridge::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_namePort name
idxIndex in the case of a VectorPort
Returns
A reference to the given port

Reimplemented from gem5::SimObject.
