Hi, while implementing SystemZTTI:getCacheSize(), it became clear that there really isn't a simple way to just ask the Subtarget for the current subtarget machine model. I was thinking like something of an enum that would also reflect the subtarget series (and would allow >= and similar operations). I would like to ask what the ideas are on how this should be done best. Some

Any architecture that supports big.LITTLE will return 0 on getCacheLineSize().

Hi, thank you for sharing the system hierarchy model. IMHO it makes a lot of sense, although I don't know which of today's passes would make use of it. Here are my remarks. I am wondering how one could model the following features using this model, or whether they should be part of a performance model at all: * ARM's big.LITTLE * NUMA hierarchies (are the NUMA domains
