Cache Simulator

---

Cache and memory hierarchy simulator using L1 or both L1 and L2 cache

---

How to run (make is needed)

1.  make			// this will compile all the .java files to .class files

2.  java sim_cache <BLOCKSIZE> <L1_SIZE> <L1_ASSOC> <L2_SIZE> <L2_ASSOC> <REPLACEMENT_POLICY> <INCLUSION_PROPERTY> <trace_file>

3.  make clean		// this will remove all the .class files

---

Example

1.  java sim_cache 16 1024 2 0 0 0 0 gcc_trace.txt			// only L1 with LRU and non-inclusive

2.  java sim_cache 16 1024 2 8192 4 0 1 gcc_trace.txt		// L1 and L2 with LRU and inclusive

---

Troubleshoot

1. Make sure to put correct path of the trace files

2. Higher values of blocksize or cache size needs to be handled separately

3. L2 cache might give different results
