Abstract

A survey is presented of three techniques for the trace-driven simulation of cache designs: stack analysis methodologies that make it possible to obtain performance measures for a wide variety of cache designs from a single run of the simulator, compression algorithms specifically tailored to memory reference traces, and an approach to parallel trace-driven simulation of multiprocessor caches that dramatically reduces the simulation's synchronization and thus its running time.
