Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2010-10-24	1. adding top level configuration class and making shader and memory ↵	Tor Aamodt
	configuration components of this class. 2. clock memory pipeline no. subwarp times for each shader clock and increase rob-size for texture cache (trying to improve correlation, currently at 0.9218) 3. start to modify shader stats to add back features for visualizer (warp divergence distribution kind of working again) passing cuda 3.1 regression and ptxplus correlation tests [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7909]
2010-10-18	Re-designed cache model:	Tor Aamodt
	- read only cache model with integrated mshrs (no L1D, yet); new cache interface should be easily extendable to support texture cache with latency fifo and separate tag/data arrays, though this is not yet added (currently tags and data arrays are not decoupled for texture) - new partition model using the above removes all old MSHRs, L1D etc... passing CUDA 3.1 regression [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7875]
2010-10-16	1. moving address decoding into a class (and out of cache entirely)	Tor Aamodt
	2. moving DRAM timing parameters into memory_config class 3. removing some likely useless statistics 4. other cleaning up of code passing CUDA 3.1 regression [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7868]
2010-10-02	refactor: mem_fetch now a class	Tor Aamodt
	[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7807]
2010-10-02	refactoring: make shd_cache_t into a class (cache_t), plus some other ↵	Tor Aamodt
	cleaning up [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7806]
2010-10-01	integrating recent changes from fermi-test into fermi	Tor Aamodt
	(i'll use "fermi" for more disruptive changes to the pipeline model such as updating the MSHRs and getting rid of the warp tracker, ripping out DWF, etc...) [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7805]
2010-08-29	- integrate changes from fermi-test (CL's under that path in range 7261-7418).	Tor Aamodt
	(add scoreboard logic from ptxplus branch and modified operand collector with parallel ALU/SFU pipelines) passing regressions [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7419]
2010-08-23	- add '-keep' option to keep intermediate files (used for OpenCL only right now)	Tor Aamodt
	- remove redundant initialization code of options (which confuses new users) - make bool option variables bool type - remove some more extern decls [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7247]
2010-08-08	refactor: shader.cc free of extern declarations	Tor Aamodt
	[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 7176]
2010-07-15	creating branch for adding support for CUDA 3.x and Fermi	Tor Aamodt
	[git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/gpgpu_sim_research/fermi/distribution/": change = 6829]
