Writing Your Own Wrapper of Ramulator 2.0 for my own Simulator

[prapti02]

I am trying to do step 4 under 'Writing Your Own Wrapper of Ramulator 2.0 for my own Simulator' in readme file, to send the memory requests from my simulator to Ramulator 2.0.
Inside frontend.h file, ("virtual bool receive_external_requests(int req_type_id, Addr_t addr, int source_id, std::function<void(Request&)> callback) { return false; }"), it returns false and hence the memory requests are not sent properly to the ramulator.
Do I have to modify any files of the ramulator code base? Or do I have to make 2 separate files of MyWrapper.h and MyWrappr.cpp?

I have an example SystemC frontend on my fork of this repo. It may be useful for your development, and feel free to reach out to me for help. It's in the Readme:

Hi,

When you implement your own frontend that inherits from the frontend interface, your own implementation of this virtual function will override the default implementation in the interface class.

Is it convenient to provide a simple sample for demonstration?

Hi, we have Ramulator 2.1 on the v2.1 branch. Along side other bug fixes and code quality improvements, it also includes an example of how to use Ramulator 2.1 as a DRAM library for other simulators in the README. Please check it out and let us know if you find any other problem!
