We currently use the traditional SI-like prefixes to represent binary multipliers in some contexts. This is ambiguous in many cases since they overload the meaning of the SI prefix. Here are some examples of commonly used in the industry: * Storage vendors define 1 MB as 10**6 bytes * Memory vendors define 1 MB as 2**20 bytes * Network equipment treats 1Mbit/s as 10**6 bits/s * Memory vendors define 1Mbit as 2**20 bits In practice, this means that a FLASH chip on a storage bus uses decimal prefixes, but that same flash chip on a memory bus uses binary prefixes. It would also be reasonable to assume that the contents of a 1Mbit FLASH chip would take 0.1s to transfer over a 10Mbit Ethernet link. That's however not the case due to different meanings of the prefix. The quantity 2MX is treated differently by gem5 depending on the unit X: * Physical quantities (s, Hz, V, A, J, K, C, F) use decimal prefixes. * Interconnect and NoC bandwidths (B/s) use binary prefixes. * Network bandwidths (bps) use decimal prefixes. * Memory sizes and storage sizes (B) use binary prefixes. Mitigate this ambiguity by consistently using the ISO/IEC/SI prefixes for binary multipliers for parameters and comments where appropriate.
