Hi Prathap,

Definitely. The gem5 memory system let’s you build any tree-topology you like, 
even unbalanced (L2 for one core, and no L2 for another etc, 2 core for one L2 
and a single core for the next). Just instantiate an L2 per core, connect it 
with a CoherentBus to the L1s of that core, and then use a CoherentBus on the 
memory-side of the L2 to “merge” the tree into the L3 (or use split L3’s as 
well).

If you’ve got pydot installed gem5 generates a PDF/SVG showing the system 
layout to visually ensure you’ve accomplished what you intended.

Thanks Andreas. I have one more question regarding cache. Is it posible to 
create a system with multiple L2 caches each private to a specific core?

Hi Prathap,

You can easily create a subclass of the BaseCache and give it suitable 
parameters for an L3. This should be fairly straight forward and also easy to 
instantiate in the Python scripts (e.g. fs.py)

Subject: [gem5-users] How to add shared nonblocking L3 cache in gem5?

Hi Users,


I am new to gem5 and I want to add nonblacking shared Last level cache(L3). I 
could see L3 cache options in Options.py with default values set. However there 
is no entry for L3 in Caches.py and CacheConfig.py.

So extending Cache.py and CacheConfig.py would be enough to create L3 cache?


Thanks,
Prathap
