Code for testing timers and cache maintanence. Records timings of cache misses, cache hits, and memory accesses after cache maintenance.

Configuration can be done by adjusting macros in config.h.

Generic configuration

• VERBOSITY: Amount of debug output. Higher value means more output.
• CACHE: Cache maintenance algorithm to use (EVICTION or FLUSHING)
• TIMER: Timer implementation to use (COUNTER_THREAD or MSR)

Eviction configuration (ignored if CACHE is not set to EVICTION)

• EVICTION_THRESHOLD: Threshold used to find eviction set. If removed, the algorithm will automatically calculate a threshold.
• EVICTION_SET_SIZE: Amount of addresses in an eviction set.

Benchmark configuration

• SAMPLES: Amount of measurements to take
• OUTPUT: File to write results to

iPhone: make M1 Mac: make m1

• make
• clang
• iphones only: ldid
• iPhones only: SDK installed at /var/sdk (or change path in Makefile)
• conversion tool: Python 3

./benchmark

to convert the output into a csv file: python3 convert.py [filename].
