Hi, I am adding a new prefetcher to m5 system. However it seems m5's current cache implementation does not fully support the prefetching mechanism.
The problem is happening if a writeback request comes to cache while the cache is issuing a prefetching on the same address. The writeback request will directly find a victim block and fill the dirty data, so when the prefetched data comes back from it is holding the stale data. However, in m5's handleReponse() such situation is still handled as normal read request, so last writeback data is lost. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? _______________________________________________ m5-dev mailing list m5-dev@m5sim.org http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/m5-dev
