64/**
65 * The DRAM controller is a basic single-channel memory controller
66 * aiming to mimic a high-level DRAM controller and the most important
67 * timing constraints associated with the DRAM. The focus is really on
68 * modelling the impact on the system rather than the DRAM itself,
69 * hence the focus is on the controller model and not on the
70 * memory. By adhering to the correct timing constraints, ultimately
71 * there is no need for a memory model in addition to the controller
72 * model.
65 * The DRAM controller is a single-channel memory controller capturing
66 * the most important timing constraints associated with a
67 * contemporary DRAM. For multi-channel memory systems, the controller
68 * is combined with a crossbar model, with the channel address
69 * interleaving taking part in the crossbar.
70 *
74 * As a basic design principle, this controller is not cycle callable,
75 * but instead uses events to decide when new decisions can be made,
76 * when resources become available, when things are to be considered
77 * done, and when to send things back. Through these simple
78 * principles, we achieve a performant model that is not
79 * cycle-accurate, but enables us to evaluate the system impact of a
80 * wide range of memory technologies, and also collect statistics
81 * about the use of the memory.
71 * As a basic design principle, this controller
72 * model is not cycle callable, but instead uses events to: 1) decide
73 * when new decisions can be made, 2) when resources become available,
74 * 3) when things are to be considered done, and 4) when to send
75 * things back. Through these simple principles, the model delivers
76 * high performance, and lots of flexibility, allowing users to
77 * evaluate the system impact of a wide range of memory technologies,
78 * such as DDR3/4, LPDDR2/3/4, WideIO1/2, HBM and HMC.
79 *
80 * For more details, please see Hansson et al, "Simulating DRAM
81 * controllers for future system architecture exploration",
82 * Proc. ISPASS, 2014. If you use this model as part of your research
83 * please cite the paper.
