  1. Back-end Timing Models • Core Models • Interconnection Network • Memory System • Coherence Cache • DRAM Controller

  2. The Network Simulator - IRIS • Virtual channels • Ring and torus • Request-reply network • Single-flit and multiflit packets • Credit-based flow control • Must instantiate a network interface • Basic router/switch designed to enable design space exploration • Ease of changing VC & switch allocators, buffering, routing function, selection functions, etc. • Topology generators for Ringand Tori • You can write your own 2

  3. Iris Interface • User creates an Iris network using one of the following: template<typename T> Ring<T>* create_ring(); template<typename T> Torus<T>* create_torus(); • parameters: • Clock& clk – clock for the network • ring_init_params* or torus_init_params* - parameters for the ring or torus • Terminal_to_net_mapping* - object that maps terminal address to network address • SimulatedLen<T>* - object that computes a packet's simulated length • VnetAssign<T>* - object that determines a packet's virtual network • intni_credit_type – type of credit messages between NI and terminal • vector<int>* node_lp – LP assignment of the routers

  4. Iris Interface • NIs and routers are created internally • NIs and routers are registered to the clock internally • NIs can be accessed through get_interface_id(), or get_interfaces() • Each NI can connect to one terminal (e.g., cache) • Router is encapsulated

  5. Iris Network Interface • A template class: • template<typename T> class GenNetworkInterface • T is the type of packets sent to the network • Network packet interface

  6. Outline • Introduction • Execution Model and System Architecture • Multicore Emulator Front-End • Component Models • Cores • Network • Memory System • Building and Running Manifold Simulations • Physical Modeling: Energy Introspector • Some Example Simulators
