Related issue: After 228498d, the
TLBEntry.getData(vpn)
function creates a newOptimizationBarrier
module each time it is called, three times per entry. This results in more generated Verilog submodules with the same inputs:Type of change: other enhancement
Impact: no functional change
Call the
TLBEntry.getData(vpn)
function once per entry per search request port, then pass that result as an argument to other functions. This deduplicates the above to these generated Verilog submodules:This reduces the TLB Verilog generated lines by a third.
Development Phase: implementation
