Struct hotspot::Circuit

pub struct Circuit {
    pub cores: usize,
    pub nodes: usize,
    pub capacitance: Vec<f64>,
    pub conductance: Vec<f64>,
}

A thermal RC circuit.

Fields

cores: usize

The number of active thermal nodes (processing elements).

nodes: usize

The number of thermal nodes, which is 4 * cores + 12.

capacitance: Vec<f64>

An nodes-element vector of thermal capacitance.

conductance: Vec<f64>

An nodes-by-nodes matrix of thermal conductance.

Methods

impl Circuit

fn new(floorplan: &Path, config: &Path, params: &str) -> Result<Circuit, &'static str>

Create a thermal RC circuit based on the block HotSpot model.

The result is an equivalent thermal RC circuit constructed according to the block HotSpot model for the given floorplan file, configuration file, and parameter line. The parameter line bears the same meaning as the command-line arguments of the HotSpot tool. The names of parameters should not include dashes in front of them; for instance, params can be "t_chip 0.00015 k_chip 100.0".

It is important to note that the function relies on the original HotSpot library written in C. This library calls exit(1) whenever an input argument is invalid, which immediately terminates the calling program. Make sure all the input files exist.
