<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Release Issues ==<br />
* Release notes are done<br />
* Ship release today<br />
* BK license expires (Nate is working on HG)<br />
<br />
== Cache Issues ==<br />
* Multi-level coherence doesn't work which makes DMAs break<br />
* Need memtester to do DMAs from another side of the bus<br />
* Fix WriteInvalidate<br />
** If a writeback crosses a write invalidate need to drop writeback<br />
* Need to use a single block cache in the bridge to cache blocks going back and forth to deal with partial blocks.<br />
<br />
== Stuff that needs to get done now ==<br />
* Cache<br />
** Steve: Remove CSHRs [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/69 flyspray1] [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/201 flyspray2]<br />
* Bus Bridge<br />
** Ali: Add small cache to deal with partial DMAs [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/261 flyspray]<br />
* Fix clock edge stuff<br />
** Nate: Implement clock stuff for all SimObjects based on container [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/269 flyspray]<br />
** Use this clock stuff everywhere we have "curTick + 1" now, esp. in cache and bus [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/270 flyspray]<br />
<br />
== New stuff that needs to be fixed ==<br />
* O3<br />
** Kevin: O3 nack support (only needed if hooked directly to memory) [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/258 flyspray]<br />
** Gabe: LSQ coherence (needed for non-Alpha ISAs) [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/268 flyspray]<br />
* Bus<br />
** Ron: Make snooping true/false as opposed to a range [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/266 flyspray]<br />
** Gabe: Bus needs to handle responses even when bus is blocked for requests [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/267 flyspray]<br />
** Bus cleanup [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/254 flyspray1] [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/257 flyspray2] [http://www.m5sim.org/flyspray/task/253 flyspray3]</div>Gblack
