Notes

Numbers in the squares below refer to the following notes:

  1. Ruby does not support atomic-mode accesses
  2. The MI_example protocol cannot support LL/SC semantics
  3. Ruby does not support probing the O3 LSQ to enforce non-weak consistency models
  4. ARM MP does not support booting with caches, but works otherwise. You can boot without caches then switch to running with caches using either a checkpoint/resume or on-line CPU switchover.
  5. Classic caches do not support x86 locked (atomic RMW) accesses. The AtomicSimple CPU model enforces atomic RMW accesses itself, so this only affects correctness for timing-mode CPU models.
