Abstract(in English) This paper proposes cache miss rate prediction technique reusing simulation results. In order to determine the best cache configuration, designers have to evaluate many cache configurations with many benchmark programs and its input data sets. Similar memory access patterns appear in different input data sets of the same program. We can expect almost the same simulation results if the patterns are similar. However, a conventional approach has to simulate the similar patterns. In this paper, we attempt to predict cache miss rate by means of reusing simulation results and the similarity of memory access patterns. In our evaluation, it is observed that the proposed approach is able to predict the cache miss rate in high accuracy.
