Notes on tuning peLIFO: 1. If your simulator has a single-bank monolithic LLC, you can pass zero for the ``parity'' argument. However, a few changes have to be made to peLIFO.cc. Please use this code. If you have a banked LLC, but it is more convenient for you to simulate one pelifo object per LLC bank (as opposed to a pair of banks), you should pass zero for the ``parity'' argument and use the code here. 2. The posted interface code uses sixteen sample sets per policy for every 1024 LLC sets. For certain workload classes, this may not be the optimal. The users are advised to try eight and four sample sets per policy also and pick the best among these three. For your convenience, I have provided peLIFO.cc for these two cases here. Eight sample sets per policy per 1024 LLC sets Four sample sets per policy per 1024 LLC sets Eight sample sets per policy per 1024 LLC sets for single-bank LLC Four sample sets per policy per 1024 LLC sets for single-bank LLC 3. The constants PROBABILITY_THR, SAMPLING_THR, and MOVEMENT_THR (in the order of decreasing importance) may need some amount of tuning. Please read comments in the code to understand the meaning of these constants. Updated: 10-APR-2010
