Building a cache simulator

This tutorial shows how to build a cache simulator using libCacheSim. There are three data structures required to build a cache simulator:

create a trace reader using open_trace()
create a cache using LRU_init() where LRU can be replaced by other cache replacement policies
create a request handler using new_request()

With a reader, a cache and a request data structure, we can simulate the cache by repeated reading from the reader and feed into the cache.

while (read_one_req(reader, req) == 0) {
    if (cache->get(cache, req)) {
        // cache hit
    } else {
        // cache miss
    }
}

See main.c for a complete example.

mkdir _build; 
cd _build;
cmake ..;
make;

./cacheSimulator

I have an error ./cacheSimulator: error while loading shared libraries: liblibCacheSim.so.0.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Solution
