run ramulator2 with drampower enable and see the power/energy results

[alinezhad2018]

Hi,

I noticed that you've integrated DRAMPower into Ramulator2, which is a great addition to ramulator2.
However, I'm unsure about how to enable and run Ramulator with DRAMPower. Could you please provide more detailed instructions in the README on how to enable power metrics in the results?"

Regards,

Are there any updates on this front?

Hi,

There are currently two ways to use Ramulator 2 with the power model.

First, you can use the TraceRecorder memory controller plugin to save the DRAM command trace (with clock cycle, command type, and command address), which you can use as the input to DRAMPower.

Second, the current version of Ramulator 2 has built-in power models based on the original DRAMPower publication (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6037398) for some DRAM models. You can enable this power modeling with drampower_enable in the DRAM spec configuration.

Hope this helps!
