Contents
Python Configurability
- Resource Configuration - How can we specify what resources are instantiated via the Python config files?
- ResourceType - Type of resource (Enum type)
- ResourceParams - Parameters for this type of resource
- Request - List of requests for this type of resource (Enum type)
- Latency - operation latency and issue latency (intra/inter thread)
- Count - Number of such resource type
- ResourceType - Type of resource (Enum type)
- Pipeline Description
- InstSchedule - Instruction schedule specified as a vector of InstClassSchedule
- InstClassSchedule - Vector of schedules per instruction class - load/store, Int execute, FP execute, specialized inst, etc. (do we still want a distinction between front end and back end schedules?)
- ResourceRequestList - Vector of ResourceRequest (per stage?)
- ResourceRequest - Vector of requests for resources
- ResourceType/Request options
- InstSchedule - Instruction schedule specified as a vector of InstClassSchedule
Simulation Speed
- Instruction Sleeping
- Sleep instructions waiting for an long-delay event (instead of constantly ask a resource if it's complete
- Event Sleeping
- Sleep CPU w/no activity - Implemented on a coarse-grain level, but Activity object can be tuned to be exact.
- Resource Pool
- Instead of broadcasting all events to the resource pool, have resources declare what functions they have virtual functions for (or auto-detect this) and then only broadcast to the right set of resources every time (e.g. the BranchPredictor may not care about a Trap Event)
ISA Support
- ALPHA - completed
- MIPS - completed
- SPARC - partially completed (not currently being developed)
- ARM - not completed - Support for Micro-Ops Needed (Template code from Simple or O3 CPU?)
- X86 - not completed - Support for Micro-Ops Needed (Template code from Simple or O3 CPU?)
- POWER - not completed
Full System Support
- InOrder can boot Linux, but testing for benchmark suites
- PARSEC
- SPLASH2
- SPEC2K6
Checkpointing
- The serialize/unserialize functions are currently unimplemented in InOrder
