Detailed Description

template<typename T, int N, int CAPACITY_IN_WORDS>
class Scratchpad< T, N, CAPACITY_IN_WORDS >

Parameterized banked scratchpad memory implemented as a SystemC module.

Template Parameters

T	EntryType
N	Number of requests
CAPACITY_IN_WORDS	Total number of words of type T in memory

Overview: -Assumptions: All N requests are guaranteed conflict-free. An assertion message will be emitted if there are any bank conflicts.

Ports: 1 input port for requests (load OR store) from client 1 output port for responses (load only) back to client

A Simple Example: #include <Scratchpad.h>

...

Connections::In< cli_req_t<data32_t, ADDR_WIDTH,N> > cli_req;

Connections::Out< cli_rsp_t<data32_t, N> > cli_rsp;

Scratchpad<data32_t, SCRATCHPAD_BANKS, CAPACITY_IN_WORDS> myscratchpad;

...

// Connect the DUT

myscratchpad.clk(clk);

myscratchpad.rst(rst);

myscratchpad.cli_req(cli_req);

myscratchpad.cli_rsp(cli_rsp);

Usage Guidelines

This module sets the stall mode to flush by default to mitigate possible RTL bugs that can occur in the default stall mode. If you are confident that this class of bugs will not occur in your use case, you can change the stall mode via TCL directive:

directive set /path/to/Scratchpad/run/while -PIPELINE_STALL_MODE stall

This may reduce area/power.
