Changeset 9885:ab020183761b --------------------------- sim: simulate with multiple event queues This patch extends the patch Steve posted on the reviewboard (846). The patch updated with all the changes that have taken place over last 15 months. Code has been added so as actually carry out a quantum-based parallel simulation. The patch was tested in two different configurations: 1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without any communication taking place with any other level. 2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server system which are connected by an ethernet link. We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum seem to be working.
