| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a fast, accurate cache simulation technique for efficient design space exploration, and shows its efficiency by means of comparing with a related approach. Trace-driven simulation is a well known methodology to measure memory-system performance, e.g. cache hit rates. One of advantages of this method is the high-speed of simulations. Since the trend increases the complexity of microprocessor chips, e.g. CMPs, however, it is strongly required to achieve much faster simulations without sacrificing the accuracy of performance prediction. The proposed approach first attempts to characterize the memory-access patters, and then generates a small but well-constructed memory-access trace as a stimulus of cache simulators. In our evaluation, it is observed that the proposed technique reduces the trace size by 81.7% while the accuracy of cache miss rates is improved by 34.6%, compared with SimPoint approach. |
