# that compromises at most 10% delay. 
# NOTE: Try reasonable values for % deviation. Inconsistent deviation
# percentage values will not produce any valid organizations. For example,
# 0:0:100:100:100 will try to identify an organization that has both
# least delay and dynamic power. Since such an organization is not possible, CACTI will
# throw an error. Refer CACTI-6 Technical report for more details

# Memory Type (D3=DDR3, D4=DDR4, L=LPDDR2, W=WideIO, S=Serial). Additional memory types can be defined by the user in extio_technology.cc, along with their technology and configuration parameters.

-dram_type "DDR3"
//-dram_type "DDR4"
//-dram_type "LPDDR2"
//-dram_type "WideIO"

# Memory State (R=Read, W=Write, I=Idle  or S=Sleep) 

//-io state  "READ"
-io state "WRITE"
//-io state "IDLE"
//-io state "SLEEP"

#Address bus timing. To alleviate the timing on the command and address bus due to high loading (shared across all memories on the channel), the interface allows for multi-cycle timing options. 

//-addr_timing 0.5 //DDR
-addr_timing 1.0 //SDR (half of DQ rate)
//-addr_timing 2.0 //2T timing (One fourth of DQ rate)
//-addr_timing 3.0 // 3T timing (One sixth of DQ rate)

# Memory Density (Gbit per memory/DRAM die)

-mem_density 4 Gb //Valid values 2^n Gb

# IO frequency (MHz) (frequency of the external memory interface).

-bus_freq 800 MHz //As of current memory standards (2013), valid range 0 to 1.5 GHz for DDR3, 0 to 533 MHz for LPDDR2, 0 - 800 MHz for WideIO and 0 - 3 GHz for Low-swing differential. However this can change, and the user is free to define valid ranges based on new memory types or extending beyond existing standards for existing dram types.

# Duty Cycle (fraction of time in the Memory State defined above)

-duty_cycle 1.0 //Valid range 0 to 1.0

# Activity factor for Data (0->1 transitions) per cycle (for DDR, need to account for the higher activity in this parameter. E.g. max. activity factor for DDR is 1.0, for SDR is 0.5)

# Number of DQ pins 

-num_dq 72 //Number of DQ pins. Includes ECC pins.

# Number of DQS pins. DQS is a data strobe that is sent along with a small number of data-lanes so the source synchronous timing is local to these DQ bits. Typically, 1 DQS per byte (8 DQ bits) is used. The DQS is also typucally differential, just like the CLK pin. 

-num_dqs 18 //2 x differential pairs. Include ECC pins as well. Valid range 0 to 18. For x4 memories, could have 36 DQS pins.

# Number of CA pins 

-num_ca 25 //Valid range 0 to 35 pins.

# Number of CLK pins. CLK is typically a differential pair. In some cases additional CLK pairs may be used to limit the loading on the CLK pin. 

-num_clk  2 //2 x differential pair. Valid values: 0/2/4.

# Number of Physical Ranks

-num_mem_dq 2 //Number of ranks (loads on DQ and DQS) per buffer/register. If multiple LRDIMMs or buffer chips exist, the analysis for capacity and power is reported per buffer/register. 

# Width of the Memory Data Bus
