public class DualCellBE
extends SystemMemory

This implements the memory architecture for the Cell BE processor. Currently, this sets of the SPE shared memory regions in the PPE. Note that while many memory models are parameterized and can be used with a variety of multiprocessor models, this is highly specific to the Cell BE and should not be used elsewhere.

Method Detail

configureMemory

public void configureMemory(Multiprocessor mp)
                     throws SystemMemoryException

Description copied from class: SystemMemory

This method is called to build and configure the memory system for the newly allocated processor array. In particular, shared memories should be allocated and connected to processors here. This method may also be used to adding additional banks of local memories or manipulating the default local memory, although this could also be done locally.

Specified by:

configureMemory in class SystemMemory

Parameters:

mp - The multiprocessor.

Throws:

SystemMemoryException - if there is a problem allocating or using the memory objects.
