Signaling and Clocking Protocols
cancel()
cancels an active timer, preventing the callback being invoked
isSet() : bool
checks whether a timer is set to generate a callback
remaining() : uint64_t
returns how many ticks remain before the callback is invoked.
TimerCallback64 protocol
The TimerCallback protocol is used to invoke a behavior on the component which set the timer.
The timer_control port of the timer must not be used during the invoked behavior.
signal() : uint64_t
Invoked by the timer when the timer countdown expires. The invoked behavior
returns the number of ticks after which it is called again or 0 to make the timer
one-shot.
Parameters
The ClockTimer component has no parameters.
Registers
The ClockTimer component has no registers.
Debug features
The ClockTimer component has no debug features.
Verification and testing
This component has been tested using internal unit tests.
Performance
An active ClockTimer component incurs no simulation overhead. For best performance, avoid
having your performance-critical code frequently cancel timers or query the number of
remaining ticks.
Library dependencies
The ClockTimer component has no dependencies on external libraries.
