Abstract

Trace-driven simulation is widely used to evaluate the cache memory system. The accuracy of the trace-driven simulation depends on the accuracy and length of the trace data. To achieve an accurate and long trace, trace collection hardware is designed. The flying cache simulator is attached to the tracing system to simulate various cache systems during the execution of an application program. The tracing system designed, called the Reconfigurable Address Collector and Flying Cache Simulator (RACFCS), can generate accurate and long traces and simulate the cache system for a long execution time
