Hi,

My question is how to model a multi-port DRAM controller using SimpleDRAM?
Let's say a DRAM controller is connected to two buses. In this case, the
DRAM controller should have two ports, each connected to a bus.

Thanks,
Amin

Hi Amin,

The short answer: put a bus in front of it.

The gem5 CoherentBus is essentially a crossbar and to create a multi-port controller, the easiest way is to consider a xbar + multiple SimpleDRAM instances as a "unit".

I hope that helps.
