Detailed Description

template<class BaseType, std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
class Compressor::BaseDelta< BaseType, DeltaSizeBits >

Base class for all base-delta-immediate compressors.

Although not proposed like this in the original paper, the sub-compressors of BDI are dictionary based with 2 possible patterns: no match, where a dictionary entry must be allocated, and masked delta match with a dictionary entry, where the delta must be stored instead. The maximum number of dictionary entries is 2, and one of them is reserved for a zero base if using immediate compression.

Template Parameters
BaseTypeType of a base (dictionary) entry.

◆ DictionaryEntry

template<class BaseType , std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
using Compressor::BaseDelta< BaseType, DeltaSizeBits >::DictionaryEntry = typename DictionaryCompressor<BaseType>::DictionaryEntry
protected

Definition at line 71 of file base_delta.hh.

◆ Params

template<class BaseType , std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
typedef BaseDictionaryCompressorParams Compressor::BaseDelta< BaseType, DeltaSizeBits >::Params

Definition at line 123 of file base_delta.hh.

◆ PatternFactory

template<class BaseType , std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
using Compressor::BaseDelta< BaseType, DeltaSizeBits >::PatternFactory = typename DictionaryCompressor<BaseType>::template Factory<PatternM, PatternX>
protected

Convenience factory declaration.

The templates must be organized by size, with the smallest first, and "no-match" last.

Definition at line 94 of file base_delta.hh.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ PatternNumber

template<class BaseType , std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
enum Compressor::BaseDelta::PatternNumber
protected

The patterns proposed in the paper.

Each letter represents a byte: Z is a null byte, M is a dictionary match, X is a new value. These are used as indexes to reference the pattern data. If a new pattern is added, it must be done before NUM_PATTERNS.

Enumerator
NUM_PATTERNS

◆ compress()

template<class BaseType , std::size_t DeltaSizeBits>
std::unique_ptr< Base::CompressionData > Compressor::BaseDelta< BaseType, DeltaSizeBits >::compress ( const std::vector< Base::Chunk > &  chunks,
Cycles comp_lat,
Cycles decomp_lat 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Apply the compression process to the cache line.

Returns the number of cycles used by the compressor, however it is usually covered by a good pipelined execution, and is currently ignored. The decompression latency is also returned, in order to avoid increasing simulation time and memory consumption.

Parameters
chunksThe cache line to be compressed, divided into chunks.
comp_latCompression latency in number of cycles.
decomp_latDecompression latency in number of cycles.
Returns
Cache line after compression.

Implements Compressor::Base.

Get meta-name assigned to the given pattern.

Parameters
numberThe number of the pattern.
Returns
The meta-name of the pattern.

Implements Compressor::BaseDictionaryCompressor.
