Cache parameters

Most cache parameters are specified in the RSIM configuration file. The command line parameters available are:

-H num,num

Number of MSHRs [10] supported at the L1 and L2 cache, respectively. Defaults to ``8,8''.

-T

Discriminate prefetching. If a hardware or software prefetch is stalled for resource constraints at the L1 cache (e.g. all MSHRs full), it will be dropped (to make place for later demand accesses that may also be stalled).

-x

Drop all software prefetches. Useful only for measuring instruction overhead of prefetching.
