Goal: Establish trust by comparing trends against well-known simulators like DineroIV or gem5 (cache-only mode).
Actions:
- Create a
validation/ directory.
- Run identical traces on CacheSimulator and reference simulators.
- Compare trends, not absolute values.
- Document accuracy ranges for L1/L2/L3 Access Energies and replacement policy ranking consistency.
Required Plots:
- Miss rate vs cache size
- Miss rate vs associativity
- Replacement policy ranking consistency
Outcome:
A clear statement confirming policy ordering and scaling trends match reference simulators.
