Description
The drcachesim configuration file supports a lot of flexibility in specifying the cache layout to simulate, but it is missing two key features I have run into recently:
- Support multiple cores per cache. Today a cache can only belong to a single core. This makes it impossible to simulate SMT/HT where 2 or more hardware threads share caches.
- Support non-power-of-2 cache sizes. With NUCA LLC it is not uncommon to have non-power-of-2 LLC cache sizes.
