Yes. So you want to just have an artificial delay which varies based
on write/read, possibly address if you have some caching, etc.
Very doable, I think.
The problem I'm having right now is with unaligned writes. I was
hoping that the Opteron would allocate a cache line on a miss to
cacheable memory space, and therefore never write partial lines. So
far I haven't gotten that to work. Reads are aligned, but partial
writes are easy to generate.
Am I forgetting something? TLB settings maybe? Opteron settings for
allocate on write?
Thanks,
Myles
