Cache Simulator (to record Hit and Miss times and rates) made as a part of COL216 (Computer Architecture) course at IIT Delhi, Semester 2, 2023-24.

To compile into executable: make

To clean old executables: make clean

To run example tests: make test

To run simulation: First make, then run

./cacheSim <number of sets> <associativity> <block size in bytes> <write-allocate/no-write-allocate> <write-through/write-back> <lru/fifo> < <tracefile>

For analysis, edit and run experiments.py and observations.py: python3 experiments.py python3 observations.py

You can change your interpreter to python if applicable.

Note: The report outlines the explanations for the observed trends and aims to determine the best configuration for the trace.
