Memory module #68

Closed Jiji10 closed 5 years ago

Jiji10 commented 6 years ago

Dear Mr,

I notice that there is not a memory module in the implementation of NoC in the Noxim. Does the tile have a memory module? Am I missing something?

Please advice Thanks

Noxim assumes a message passing traffic between nodes. Which kind of module are you referring to ? a local cache ? a memory controller ?

Jiji10 commented 6 years ago

Yes, a memory controller. Can i add this module ?

In noxim you don't add "modules" of a specific kind, but nodes. It's the traffic characterization that determines the "type" of node. I mean, you use a low level simulator (e.g., graphite) and get traffic patterns, then use a statistical abstraction of those pattern (e.g. traffic tables with packet injection rates) to quickly estimate in noxim.
