 ====== 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.
