To whom it may concern, Has anyone successfully run MARSS with all caches defined as MESICache? In the original code of memoryHierarchy.cpp, the L2 cache, which is the shared last level cache in a 2-level cache hierarchy, is defined as SimpleWTCache. If the L3 cache is enabled, it is also defined as SimpleWTCache. What is the reason to define the last level cache to be SimpleWTCache? I don't think SimpleWTCache (which is defined in cacheController.*) implemented inclusive cache property. However, when I modified the code from SimpleWTCache to MESICache (simply change the namespace used), the simulator got stuck. Sometimes it printed out someStructIsFull and sometimes nothing printed out. I tried both single core checkpoint with 429.mcf in SPEC2006 and different 2-core checkpoints in SPEC2006 benchmarks. All of them failed.
Also I tried to modify cacheController.cpp myself to handle inclusive issues. However, the simulator was stuck, too. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Or run MARSS successfully without SimpleWTCache? Could you please give me any suggestion? Thanks, Yingying
