lab从这里开始变得难了起来了,这次要模拟计算机里的一个硬件-cache的工作,关于cache,百度百科介绍的比我好,这边请--------->

然后咱们就先拿到实验用的文件以及他的writeup,看完一会之后(long long after)就知道了此次实验的目的。然后文件也知道的一清二楚了。

csim.c:用来做part A的主要文件。

trans.c:用来做part B的主要文件。

Part A

writeup里面已经提到了,cache.h头文件里面有所需的函数并且要在csim.c里面完成cache的模拟过程,那么首先我们看看cache.h头文件提供了哪些东西

/*

#ifndef CACHELAB_TOOLS_H

用我那-4级的英语水平来翻译大概就是定义了一个结构体,结构体里有测试cache的一些指标,诸如命中次数这些的东西,所以这个结构体就当成cache吧。

那么就很好写(chao)csim.c的代码了,如下

测试:

Part B

优化矩阵转置函数,使得cache miss尽可能少,不超过12个临时变量

32 x 32

直接转置是肯定不行的,这都不用去试(实则败而归来)。众所周知,分块是一个很好用的算法

32位字节的数据,一个int4字节,每行/列有8个int,我们将其分块为8x8,进行处理

充分利用这些变量即可写出

这个暂时先立个flag在这里,等之后会做了再做吧,后面的真的做的不太行了。。。
