Detailed Description

A CompressedTags cache tag store.

See also: gem5 Memory System

The Compression Ratio (CR) of a superblock is defined by CR = uncompressed_size / compressed_size.

The CompressedTags placement policy divides the cache into s sets of w superblocks (ways). Each superblock can then contain up to CR compressed blocks.

For each tag entry there can be multiple data blocks. We have the same number of tags a conventional cache would have, but we instantiate the maximum number of data blocks (according to the compression ratio) per tag, to virtually implement compression without increasing the complexity of the simulator.

This is a simple implementation of cache compression, where superblocks can only have at most numBlocksPerSector compressed blocks, each compressed to at least (100/numBlocksPerSector)% of its size.

numBlocksPerSector holds the maximum number of blocks a superblock with the best possible compression factor would hold. It is equivalent to CR from the previous definition.

◆ anyBlk()

bool CompressedTags::anyBlk ( std::function< bool(CacheBlk &)> visitor )

overridevirtual

Find if any of the sub-blocks satisfies a condition.

The visitor should be a std::function that takes a cache block reference as its parameter. The visitor will terminate the traversal early if the condition is satisfied.

Parameters

visitor Visitor to call on each block.

CacheBlk * CompressedTags::findVictim	(	Addr	addr,
		const bool	is_secure,
		const std::size_t	compressed_size,
		std::vector< CacheBlk * > &	evict_blks
	)

overridevirtual

Find replacement victim based on address.

Checks if data can be co- allocated before choosing blocks to be evicted.

Parameters

addr	Address to find a victim for.
is_secure	True if the target memory space is secure.
compressed_size	Size, in bits, of new block to allocate.
evict_blks	Cache blocks to be evicted.

Returns: Cache block to be replaced.

◆ forEachBlk()

void CompressedTags::forEachBlk ( std::function< void(CacheBlk &)> visitor )

overridevirtual

Visit each sub-block in the tags and apply a visitor.

The visitor should be a std::function that takes a cache block. reference as its parameter.

Parameters

visitor Visitor to call on each block.
