Detailed Description

The elastic data memory request generator to read protobuf trace containing execution trace annotated with data and ordering dependencies.

It deduces the time at which to send a load/store request by tracking the dependencies. It attempts to send a memory request for a load/store without performing real execution of micro-ops. If L1 cache port sends packet succesfully, the generator checks which instructions became dependency free as a result of this and schedules an event accordingly. If it fails to send the packet, it waits for a retry from the cache.

◆ execute()

void gem5::TraceCPU::ElasticDataGen::execute ( )

This is the main execute function which consumes nodes from the sorted readyList.

First attempt to issue the pending dependency-free nodes held in the depFreeQueue. Insert the ready-to-issue nodes into the readyList. Then iterate through the readyList and when a node has its execute tick equal to curTick(), execute it. If the node is a load or a store call executeMemReq() and if it is neither, simply mark it complete.

◆ windowSize

const uint32_t gem5::TraceCPU::ElasticDataGen::windowSize

private

Window size within which to check for dependencies.

Its value is made equal to the window size used to generate the trace which is recorded in the trace header. The dependency graph must be populated enough such that when a node completes, its potential child node must be found and the dependency removed before the completed node itself is removed. Thus as soon as the graph shrinks to become smaller than this window, we read in the next window.
