de.uni-kl.ems.dram.vp.system
Generic DRAM controller simulator and debug tools related to it.
Basic Setup
In a terminal window execute the commands that follow (the '$' symbolizes the terminal prompt).
Go to your home directory.
$ cd
Create a directory for your projects.
$ mkdir projects
Clone the repository.
It is possible that you will work with a fork of the official codebase. A fork is a copy of a repository. In that case, after pushing changes into your copy you should create a pull request in order to your supervisor check and possibly bring your changes to the official codebase.
In case of doubts about which repository you should clone ask your supervisor.
$ git clone https://<user>@git.rhrk.uni-kl.de/<user>/dram.vp.system.git
Go to the projetct directory.
$ cd dram.vp.system
Execute the script below.
$ ./install_prerequisites.sh
With QTCreator
Execute the QTCreator.
$ qtcreator &
Use the menu bar and open the DRAMSys project.
File -> Open Project -> dram.vp.sys/dram/dramSys/dramSys.pro
When you open the project for the first time a configuration window pops-up. Then click in Configure Project and after that Build the project.
Repeat the procedure above and build the trace analyser project.
File -> Open Project -> dram.vp.sys/analyser/analyser/traceAnalizer.pro
Without QTCreator
In case you prefer a command line interface to the QTCreator GUI you can also use qmake to generate a Makefile and then compile the project.
$ cd dram
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ qmake ../dramSys/dramSys.pro
$ make
DRAMSys Resources
The simulator's configuration is done via some files. You can find such configuration files in the directory below and its sub-directories.
$ cd /projects/dram.vp.system/dram/resources
A short description of the content each directory follows.
- resources
- configs - XML files used for configurate specific details of the simulation.
- scripts - useful tools.
- simulations - global configs for simulations: debug mode, power analysis and database recording. Some specific configuration files are referenced in the global configuration file.
- traces - trace files for simulations. They contain accesses to memory in certain known scenarios.
