cachesim

A basic cache simulator written in C++ for ECE6100 at Georgia Tech.

Build

Navigate to root directory and run make.

Run

To run the cache simualtor, just execute ./cachesim. The simulator takes a number of optional parameters:

• C: total cache size
• B: block size
• S: blocks per set (if S=0, then direct-mapped)
• K: number of bytes per subblock
• V: victim cache blocks (if victim cache enabled!)
• i: path to input trace file (see below)

Example: ./cachesim -C 10 -B 4 -S 2 -K 2 -V 8

Upon completing execution, the simulator will return a summary of cache statistics for the given trace file.

Trace File Format

A list of cache accesses, one per line.

Format:

• Read: r <address>
• Write: w <address>
