This reposity contains the source code of GPGPUSim integrated with Ramulator as a DRAM model.

GPGPU-Sim is a cycle-level simulator modeling contemporary graphics processing units (GPUs) running GPU computing workloads written in CUDA or OpenCL. The GPGPUSim+Ramulator simualtor is using GPGPU-Sim Simulator Version 3.2.2 http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~aamodt/papers/gpgpusim.ispass09.pdf

Ramulator is a fast and extensible DRAM simulator, with built-in support for modeling many different DRAM technologies, described in the IEEE CAL 2015 paper by Kim et al. at http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~omutlu/pub/ramulator_dram_simulator-ieee-cal15.pdf

This Simulator supports these DRAM standards:

• DDR3 (2007), DDR4 (2012)
• LPDDR3 (2012), LPDDR4 (2014)
• GDDR5 (2009)
• WIO (2011), WIO2 (2014)
• HBM (2013)

Please cite the following paper if you find this simulation infrastructure useful:

BUILDING

• This version requires a C++11 compiler (e.g., clang++, g++-5)
• The process for compiling this version is identical to the process of compiling regular GPGPU-Sim, so first read the GPGPUSim's README file.

RUNING

• In the gpgpusim.config file:

  • Set the gpgpu_ramulator_config to point to the address of the desired DRAM standard. (Supported DRAM standards are provided in Ramulator_configs directory).

  • Set the gpgpu_ramulator_cache_line_size to the desired L2 cache line size.

  • Adjust the gpgpu_dram_timing_opt acording to the desired DRAM standard.

  • In gpgpu_clock_domains, set the "DRAM Clock" acording to the desired DRAM standard.

• The rest of the process for running this version is identical to the process for running regular GPGPU-Sim, so first read the GPGPUSim's README file.

The current version of the simulator is provided as is, and should be treated as an alpha version.
