Hello everyone
I am trying to understand and set various parameters in the xml file
that is input to Mcpat. I have a question about setting parameters for
number of cache levels. I have defined various parameters for L1 cache
(system.core0.icache/system.core0.dcache) and shared L2 cache (system.L20).
1. My understanding is that I can choose to have an L2 cache in the
system or not by setting parameter "number_cache_levels" to 1 or 2.
However, in either case, I am getting the same power number output from
Mcpat against my expectation of seeing a difference in power. How do I
really set the number of cache levels in mcpat xml file? Am I missing
something?
2. Could someone elaborate on the parameter "number_of_L2s" and if that
has anything to do with caches? I am not able to understand the
description given in sample xml file.
I have attached my xml file for reference.
Thanks
Lokesh
