Cache Associativity Analysis of Multicore Systems

摘要

Nowadays, Multicore processor is a single processor which contains number of cores on a chip. The cores are functional units made up of computation units and caches. Multicore processors have used in various organizations for process their applications such a Database servers, Web servers (Ecommerce), Compilers and Scientific applications, CAD/CAM. Therefore, fast processing of multicore processors is needed. In this paper we study and analyzed the cache associativity which improves the performance of multicore processors. Experiment is performed on Multi2Sim with quad core processor, split L1 (Instruction and Data) and shared L2 caches.
