Ruby

High level components of Ruby

  Need to talk about the overview of Ruby and what are the major components.

Rathijit will do it

SLICC + Coherence protocols:

   Need to say what is SLICC and whats its purpose. 
   Talk about high level strcture of a typical coherence protocol file, that SLICC uses to generate code. 
   A simple example structure from protocol like MI_example can help here.

Nilay will do it

Protocol independent memory components

1. Cache Memory
2. Replacement Policies
3. Memory Controller

Arka will do it

Topologies and Networks

There is a separation between the network topology and the implementation.

Rathijit will do it

Implementation of Ruby

  Low level details goes here. Need to explain code directory structure as well.

SLICC

   Explain functionality/ capability of SLICC
   Talk about
   AST, Symbols, Parser and code generation in some details but NO need to cover every file and/or functions. 
   Few examples should suffice.

Nilay will do it

Protocols

   Need to talk about each protocol being shipped. Need to talk about protocol specific configuration parameters.
   NO need to explain every action or every state/events, but need to give overall idea and how it works
   and assumptions (if any).

MI example

MI protocols don't support LL/SC semantics.

Rathijit will do it

MOESI_hammer

Somayeh will do it

MOESI_CMP_token

Shoaib will do it

MOESI_CMP_directory

Rathijit will do it

MESI_CMP_directory

Arka will do it

Protocol Independent Memory components

System

Arka will do it

Sequencer

Arka will do it

CacheMemory

Arka will do it

DMASequencer

Derek will do it

Memory Controller

Rathijit will do it

Topologies and Networks

Topology specification

Python files specify connections. Shortest path graph traversals program the routing tables.

Network implementation

1. SimpleNetwork
2. Garnet

Life of a memory request in Ruby

Cpu model generates a packet -> RubyPort converts it to a ruby request -> L1 cache controller converts it to a protocol specific message ...etc.

Arka will do it
