PROJECT FORM

Description: Simulations & Benchmarks $[15$ pts total$]$

Part $1$: Perform simulations on MARS, use "Lab$8.$asm" $[10$ pts$]$

Run the program through all inputs $(0,1,2,9)$ for each run on each tool.

A$.$ Cache $-$ use MARS' Data Cache Simulator tool $[5$ pts$]$

Perform simulations for these $3$ cache mappings:

a$.$ Direct mapped

b$.2-$way

c$.4-$way

Show screen shots of each mapping, and describe cache hit rates, for both $($paste here$)$

a$.$ Early results $($show $1$ red bar$)$

b$.$ Final results

Explain the results

a$.$ why the cache misses

b$.$ which cache mapping had the best results and why
