Assuming you have GCC and Make installed, cd to the project directory and run

make debug : Build with debug info printed to console

make release : Build without debug info printed to the console

You should now have the executable named ece585_memory_controller in the top directory.

Run it as follows:

$ ./ece585_memory_controller <input_trace_file> <output_dram_commands_file>

For example, if my input memory request trace is ip_trace.txt and I want output in the file named output.txt, I will run:

$ ./ece585_memory_controller ip_trace.txt output.txt

• To enable, make sure the line #define BANK_PARALLELISM in include/commondefs.h is uncommented.
• To disable, make sure the line is commented.
• Note: You need to make clean and recompile the project for the effect to take place.
