Thank you for the clarification.

The PROTOCOL env var (available in build_opts) is used in Ruby only.
For the classic memory system, MOESI is used.

Hi,
The default is MI protocol in classic cache model, there are various protocols 
which you can find in build_opts directory.
Also, you can find the build info by using —build-info flag.
For example ./build/X86/gem5.opt —build-info

Hi all,

I am currently running simulation in a multicore processor. I connect the 
memory system as follow:

for i in range(np):
    system.cpu[i].icache = L1_ICache()
    system.cpu[i].dcache = L1_DCache()
    system.cpu[i].icache.connectCPU(system.cpu[i])
    system.cpu[i].dcache.connectCPU(system.cpu[i])

system.l2cache = L2Cache()
system.l2bus = L2XBar()

#np means number of processor and it is a parameter
for i in range(np):
    system.cpu[i].icache.connectBus(system.l2bus)
    system.cpu[i].dcache.connectBus(system.l2bus)
system.l2cache.connectCPUSideBus(system.l2bus)
system.l2cache.connectMemSideBus(system.membus)

In summary, to each core I have private Icache and Dcache which are connected 
to an L2 shared cache.

So, my question is: how is the coherence guaranteed in the system, since I do 
not provide this information in my configuration file? Is there a default 
coherency used in the gem5? If so, which is it?

Thanks in advance.
