What command do you run for your simulation ?

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I looked at the code for other protocols. I might have missed something, but I
mostly see more vnets used to either “to” or “fro” traffic and not replicated
like I’m trying to do. I appreciate any insight you have in this matter.
I get an error message in a certain dequeue operation which looks like this:
gem5.debug: src/mem/ruby/network/MessageBuffer.cc:302: gem5::Tick
gem5::ruby::MessageBuffer::dequeue(gem5::Tick, bool): Assertion
`isReady(current_time)' failed.
For incorporating traffic on new vnets I have made the following changes :
In Garnet_standalone-cache.sm :
* Added message buffers
* Added corresponding out_port
* Additional actions on every transition which looks like the screenshot
below
<image001.png>
Inside Garnet_standalone-dir.sm
* Added message buffers
* Added exact dequeue action for each transition for additional in_ports
<image002.png>
Inside src/cpu/testers/garnet_synthetic_traffic/GarnetSyntheticTraffic.cc :
* Added code for new injection request types for each new vnet
312 if (injReqType < 0 || injReqType > 5)
313 {
314 // randomly inject in any vnet
315 injReqType = random_mt.random(0, 5);
316 }
317 printf("Asmita - Injection request type %d \n", injReqType);
318 if (injReqType == 0 || injReqType == 1) {
319 // generate packet for virtual network 0
320 requestType = MemCmd::ReadReq;
321 req = std::make_shared<Request>(paddr, access_size, flags,
322 requestorId);
323 } else if (injReqType == 2 || injReqType == 3) {
324 // generate packet for virtual network 1
325 //printf("Asmita - Inside injection req 3\n");
326 requestType = MemCmd::ReadReq;
327 flags.set(Request::INST_FETCH);
328 req = std::make_shared<Request>(
329 0x0, access_size, flags, requestorId, 0x0, 0);
330 req->setPaddr(paddr);
331 } else { // if (injReqType == 2)
332 // generate packet for virtual network 2
333 requestType = MemCmd::WriteReq;
334 req = std::make_shared<Request>(paddr, access_size, flags,
335 requestorId);
336 }
Apart from this I have also made small changes in the python files of
configs/example/garnet_synth_traffic.py(line 115) to have choices of [-1… 5]
and inside configs/ruby/Garnet_standalone.py to add new directory and cache
controller and set ruby_system.network.number_of_virtual_networks to 6.
However, I still keep getting a queuing error and I’m not sure what I’m missing
here.
I haven’t made any changes to Garnet_standalone-msg.sm and
Garnet_standalone.slicc.

Make sure you update all the files listed here:
https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/ruby/Garnet_standalone/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/ruby/Garnet_standalone/__;!!Mak6IKo!IQcbjhdJvU-J1le-1F7_FuGe_5Omw7bSserDXd8BnHVr2zj-rc2VZgXs1_yiXIscUcX4QmEuk1z55fIOJ4SRdV8$>
And you’ll also have to update the synthetic traffic injector:
https://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/ruby/garnet_synthetic_traffic/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/ruby/garnet_synthetic_traffic/__;!!Mak6IKo!IQcbjhdJvU-J1le-1F7_FuGe_5Omw7bSserDXd8BnHVr2zj-rc2VZgXs1_yiXIscUcX4QmEuk1z55fIOJ0tLokg$>
You can also take a look at other coherence protocols that have multiple vnets
as reference.

Hi,
I’m trying to add virtual networks to the existing Garnet protocol. Currently,
it has 3 virtual networks for request, forward and response from what I see and
I want to add three/etc. more virtual networks (lets say 3,4,5) to trigger
additional traffic. For achieving this, I have added additional message buffers
for each new vnet in src/mem/ruby/Garnet-standalone-cache.sm and
src/mem/ruby/Garnet-standalone-dir.sm, updated the corresponding inports and
outports for these message buffers and the enqueue/dequeue action for each of
them. However, it doesn’t work, as in the dequeue operation fails. I have made
additional changes to *.py files as well in configs to support the directory
and cache controllers to the network. The other option I see doing this is
adding more event types and changing the traffic to force it on the extra
vnets. Is this a viable option? Or am I missing something in my first approach?
