Hi all,

      I have a problem about the cache coherence.  I check the code about  KNOB_ENABLE_CACHE_COHERENCE, then find that the value of this parameter doesn't have effect on the simulator.
      So I guess that in Macsim the L3 cache doesn't implement the cache coherence.  Do i have an exact understanding?

       Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Applee

Currently macsim by itself doesn’t support cache coherence. 
You have to use sst-macsim for cache coherence support. 
Sorry for the confusion

Thank you for your help.

    Now I have another question. I only use the macsim.
    the number of cpu is 4
    the number of gpu is 6
    the number of l3  is 4
    the number of mc is 2
    For one cpu or gpu, such as cpu0 or gpu0, can it access all the l3 caches?
   
    Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Applee
