NoCSim tips(lab)

NoC top file generate: in NoCGenRTL_mesh.cpp, NoCGenRTL_meshDiss.cpp,  Link_ps.cpp, Router_ps.cpp --> Link_ps.cpp

In the generated file NoC.v, the stuff I have to modify:

the router name, to tRouter_xy_beOnlyLeftUpCorner, etc, based on position;

.success_o(success_out[  ]),  .fail_o(fail_out[  ]),  //the element no.

delete router2NoCM_free port in router;

trellis SDM+TDM:

router.cpp 中需每次设置subchannel_num;

trellis.v中需配置parameter Channel_QUANT, SLOT_QTY; rin_edge_state[  i][j][k] = r_subchannel_state; casex(r_success_forward)选择r_nodes_success[3]<=r_success_forward[3];

Hagar SDM+TDM: seems only in graphMatrix.v, rin_edge_state[gen_i][gen_j][gen_k] = r_subchannel_state||;

select which subcannel: if(disableEdge[  i][m][n])begin
                                                 if(r_subchannel_state[i][m][n][0])

and in backtrace.v to select which slot.

the NoCSim result is stored in the folder:Sadia\nocsim3\build\architectures\arch_000000\traffic_000000\cpp_results, as following the picture:

nocsim 运行：

nocsim3 $ make verilogSeries

注意：NoCSim只能在64位机下跑，所以cnode14下不能运行。有时NoCSim generate code时会出错，多运行几次后就会正常。

几种NoCM的基础文件(非NoCSim生成的文件)，在nocsim3\template_lib\v 中

各模块所在file：

EHAGAR模块：genVeriNoCMGraphColDetectForward，genVeriNoCMGraphColDetectBackward，genVeriNoCMGraphPredecessorForward；genVeriNoCMGraphColDetect，genVeriNoCMGraphPredecessor，等在NoCComponent.cpp中；

trellis模块：genVeriTrellisHagarFileForwardPart，genVeriTrellisHagarFileBackwardPart，genVeriTrellisHagarFileDisableEdges等在router.cpp中

EdgeActivator is generated in file NoCM_version,and the genVeriNoCMResetLinkStateForEdgeActivator is in NoCComponent;genVeriNoCMSetLinkStateForEdgeActivator is in router; TRELLIS is generated in file NoCM_versionHagarTrellis. genVeriTrellisHagarFileForwardPart,genVeriTrellisHagarFileBackwardPart,genVeriTrellisHagarFileDisableEdges are generated in file router.cpp;tAdr2idConverter in NoCGenRTL.cpp
Now the only file need to modify manually is TRELLIS,because of the #slot
and should add in file accessCtrl.v .adrZ1_i(0), //mine,add by myself
                                     .adrZ2_i(0), //mine,add by myself

对于EHAGAR，bidirection EHAGAR的shared files中，tNoCM_hagarDouble与accessCtrl中的parameter COORD_SIZE，accessCtrl.v中的 .adrZ1_i(3'b0)的位宽,要根据network大小进行调整。
