Hi Richard, I am not aware of any works to add multicast support. Can you tell us more about what kind of multicast transmission you are looking for?
You could look at the network interface code and modify it yourself to add support. For example, Line 389 is where a multicast message is converted to unicast messages to separate destinations. https://github.com/gem5/gem5/blob/stable/src/mem/ruby/network/garnet/NetworkInterface.cc#L389 Thanks, Srikant On Thu, Mar 23, 2023 at 7:32 AM Richard Bachmann via gem5-users < gem5-users@gem5.org> wrote: > I am interested in simulating multicast messages with gem5 Garnet. > However, the Garnet documentation says "The network modeled does not > have hardware multi-cast support within the network.
