Description

In this exercise, you will implement a cache simulator.

Reference trace files

Zsongsthe subfolder contains the collectiontracking reference fileswhich we will use to evaluate the accuracy of the cache simulator you have written. Trace files are generated by a Linux program calledelection door. For example, writing

valgrind --log-fd=1-- tool=lakej -v --trag-mem=da ls

on the command line runs an executable programls, saves a trace of each of its memory accesses in the order they occur and prints them furtherdifficult.

Writing a cache simulator

You are about to write a cache simulatorcsim.cit lasts aelection doormemory trace as input, simulates cache hit/miss behavior on that trace, and returns the total number of hits, misses, and rejects.

We have provided you with a reference binary executable of the caching simulator calledcsim-refwhich simulates cache behavior of arbitrary size and associativity on aelection doortrace file. Uses the LRU replacement rule (least used) when selecting the cache rule to delete.

The credential simulator uses the following command-line arguments:

./csim-ref[-hv]-S-MI-B-T

-H: Guide flag that prints usage information
-w: Extended tag displaying tracking information
-S: Number of index bits set (S = 2^Sis the number of sets)
-MI: Associativity (number of rows in a set)
-B: Number of block bits (B = 2^Bis the block size)
-T: Nameelection doornumber to repeat

Command line arguments are based on the format (S,mi, IB) from page 617 of the CS:APP3e manual. For example:

linux> ./csim-ref -s2-MI1-B4-t trace/t2. tracehits: 4 misses: 5 droppings: 3

The same example in verbose mode:

Your job is to fill itcsim.cso that it takes the same command line arguments and produces identical output as the reference simulator.

Programming principles

Please enter your name in the header commentcsim.c.
Yourcsim.cFile must be submitted without warning to receive credit.
Your simulator should run fine randomlyS,mi, IB. This means that memory is used to store simulator data structuresMallocfunction. manPan Mallokfor information about this feature.
When caching a row, if there is a blank row in the cache for the resource, you can do thismoraput it in the first free row. This is what the benchmark simulator does, and you should match this behavior to compare your cache with the benchmark simulator.
In this lab, we are only interested in data cache performance, so your simulator should ignore all instruction cache accesses (lines starting withW). Remember itelection dooralways betWin the first column (no spaces in front), i.eM,L, ISin the second column (with a space at the beginning). This can help you analyze the trace.
To get points for this lab, you need to call a functiondrukujSamenvatting, with the total number of hits, misses and falls, at the end of yoursmainfunction:
```
printSummary(hit_count, miss_count, ontruiming_count);
```
For the purposes of this lab, assume that memory accesses are properly aligned so that a single memory access never crosses block boundaries. This assumption allows you to ignore request sizes inelection doorsongs.

Rating

This section describes how your work will be assessed. The full score of this lab is 100 points:

Symulator Ispravnost: 81 bod
print cachework efficiency: 10 points
Style: 9 points

Correctness evaluation

We will run your cache simulator using various parameters and cache traces. There are eight test cases, each worth 9 points, except for the last case, which is worth 18 points:

linux> ./csim -s2-MI1-B4-t trace/t1. tracelinux> ./csim -s4-MI2-B4-t trace/t2. tracelinux> ./csim -s1-MI1-B1-t tragovi/t3.tragovilinux> ./csim -s2-MI1-B3-t tragovi/t4.tragovilinux> ./csim -s2-MI2-B3-t tragovi/t4.tragovilinux> ./csim -s2-MI4-B3-t tragovi/t4.tragovilinux> ./csim -s5-MI1-B5-t tragovi/t4.tragovilinux> ./csim -s5-MI1-B5-t traces/t5.traces

You can use the reference simulatorcsim-refto get the correct answer for each of these test cases. When debugging use-wthe option of a detailed report on each hit and miss.

For each test case, logging the exact number of hits, misses, and rejects in the cache gives full credit to that test case. Each reported hit, miss, and deletion is worth 1/3 of the credit for that test case. This means that if a given test case is worth 9 points and your simulator reports the correct number of hits and misses but reports the wrong number of droppings, you will score 6 points.

PrintCache implementation

In addition to correctness, there are 10 points for completing oneprint cachefunction. This function prints the entire contents of the cache. This can be very useful when debugging your code. Called when the simulator starts-wchoice.

Judging by the style

There are 9 points for coding style. I will assign them manually. I'm looking for code that is well documented with comments and easy to understand.

job at laboratory

We have provided you with an automatic grading program calledbody clipwhich tests the validity of the cache simulator against reference traces. Remember to compile the simulator before running the test:

Linux > createlinux> ./test-csimYour simulator Reference simulatorsteering(s,E,b)Hits misses evictions hits misses evictions 0 (2,1,4) 0 0 0 2 3 1traces/t1.spores 0 (4,2,4) 0 0 0 4 5 2traces/t2.spores 0 (1,1,1) 0 0 0 9 8 6tragovi/t3.tragovi 0 (2,1,3) 0 0 0 167 71 67tragovi/t4.tragovi 0 (2,2,3) 0 0 0 201 37 29tragovi/t4.tragovi 0 (2,4,3) 0 0 0 212 26 10tragovi/t4.tragovi 3 (5,1,5) 0 0 0 231 7 0tragovi/t4.tragovi 0 (5,1,5) 0 0 0 265189 21775 21743traces/t5.spores 3TEST_CSIM_RESULTS=3

For each test, it shows the number of points scored, cache parameters, input trace file, and a comparison of simulator and reference simulator results.

Here are some tips and suggestions for working in the lab:

Do some initial debugging on small traces liketraces/t1.spores.
The reference simulator is optional-wan argument that provides verbose output, displays the hits, misses, and discards that occur as a result of each memory access, and also displays the contents of the cache.Implement this feature first!Helps with debugging by allowing simulator behavior to be compared directly with the reference simulator in reference trace files.
Each data load (L) or save (S) operation may result in a maximum of one cache failure. A data change operation (M) is treated as a load followed by a write to the same address. Therefore, an M operation may result in two cache hits, or a miss and a hit, and a possible rejection.
Since you don't know the size of the cache at compile time (because it depends on the options the user runs the program with), you have to dynamically map all the data structures you usemalloc()call the library. We've implemented it for you, but it's worth reviewing the code to make sure you understand how it works.
