====== Assignment 2 ======

Write a cache simulator, you may use Java or C.
The simulator takes a trace file and produces the miss rate.
The trace files consists of multiple lines, each lines three fields

instruction: R/W memory address

The simulator accepts as command line arguments as follows

Simulator <cache size in KBytes> <Block size in bytes> <associativity> <trace file>

trace files will be posted on this page shortly

here is a sample{{:assignments:test2.txt|here}} input file

Grading:
The simulator will be graded based on these criteria
  - Correct compilation, if the program did not compile, that is an F
  - The program is tested on trace files. The files may be small or extremely large.
  - You have to specify your replacement policy (that will affect the miss rate).
  - Finally, reasonable documentation and coding style are required.
