Config file for simulating heterogeneous architecture

[Ankita (Garg) Goel]

Hi,

I have created a config file to create a heterogeneous architecture consisting of SIMD and OOO cores. It is derived from 2 already existing config files under configs/fractal. I am attaching the files here for reference.

When I run the simulation using the following command, I hit an assertion.

build/ALPHA_SE/m5.opt configs/fractal/config_hetero_gpu.py --detailed --rootdir=. --bindir=./api/binsimd_blocktask/ --simd=True --wkCpuFrequency=2.00GHz --ctrlCpuFrequency=2.00GHz --DcacheAssoc=16 --DcacheBanks=4 --DcacheBlkSize=32 --DcacheHWPFdegree=1 --DcacheHWPFpolicy=none --DcacheLookupLatency=2ns --DcachePropagateLatency=2ns --DcacheSize=16kB --IcacheAssoc=4 --IcacheBlkSize=32 --IcacheHWPFdegree=1 --IcacheHWPFpolicy=none --IcacheSize=16kB --L2NetBandWidthMbps=456000 --L2NetFrequency=300MHz --L2NetPortOutQueueLength=4 --L2NetRouterBufferSize=256 --L2NetRoutingLatency=1ns --L2NetTimeOfFlight=13t --L2NetType=FullyNoC --L2NetWormHole=True --MemNetBandWidthMbps=128000 --MemNetFrequency=266MHz --MemNetPortOutQueueLength=4 --MemNetRouterBufferSize=2048 --MemNetTimeOfFlight=130t --benchmark=HOTSPOT --l2wkAssoc=16 --l2wkBanks=16 --l2wkBlkSize=128 --l2wkHWPFDataOnly=False --l2wkHWPFdegree=1 --l2wkHWPFpolicy=none --l2wkMSHRs=64 --l2wkSize=4096kB --l2wkTgtsPerMSHR=32 --l2wklookupLatency=2ns --l2wkpropagateLatency=12ns --l2wktol1ratio=2 --localAddrPolicy=1 --maxThreadBlockSize=0 --numHWTCs=16 --numSWTCs=2 --numcpus=4 --physmemLatency=50ns --physmemSize=2048MB --portLookup=0 --restoreContextDelay=0 --retryDcacheDelay=10 --stackAlloc=3 --switchOnDataAcc=True --warpSize=8 --protocol=mesi

Any idea what could be going on ? I tried different values for --protocol. Thanks a lot for your help!

This is the assert failure:

Hi Ankit,

It seems the simulator is unexpectedly using locMSIBlkState. If
localAddrPolicy=1 and protocol=mesi, you should end up using
LocMESIBlkState. Can you run pdb.set_trace in frCommons_hetero.py to
see if directory_protocol and block_protocol are set appropriately
(does not fall into any branch that set them to LocMSI)?

Another thing to try is modifying the example file incrementally, so
you know right away when something goes wrong.

Another thing to try is to set localAddrPolicy to 0 instead of one,
and then the simulator should use MESI.
