Cache Replacement Policy Evaluation

Directory Tree

This is a project that hopes to verify the result presented in Hawkeye Cache Replacement Policy. The ChampSim environment is needed and should be put parrallel with this directory. The experiments follow the CRC2. Use crp for cache replacement policy, cf for configuration, and bcmk for benchmark in the followings

/ChampSim_CRC2
    /ChampSim_CRC2/trace

/ece552_cr_project # Current dir
    ./exec # Execute files: crp-cf
    ./results # Store outputs: crp-cf-bcmk.out
    ./scripts # Scripts
    ./src # Your source files (cache replacement policy impl)

How to run scripts

Run everythin under /ece552_cr_project.

pwd
# xxx/ece552_cr_project
./scripts/compile.sh
./scripts/run_sim.sh

How to change scripts

1. Add you source files in compile.sh
2. IMPORTANT: Change number of instructions to simulate in run_sim.sh when final testing. Please also change the directory of results correspondingly.

How to run micro-benchmark

1. Change your source file config to follow that in microbenchmark.cc.
2. Revise commands in ./scripts/run_microbenchmark.sh.
3. Run ./scripts/run_microbenchmark.sh
4. Run ./MicroBenchmarks_exec/ship
