BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CSL-TR-94-635 ENTRY:: September 01, 1994 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A Performance/Area Workbench for Cache Memory Design TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Okuzawa, Osamu AUTHOR:: Flynn, Michael J. DATE:: August 1994 PAGES:: 22 ABSTRACT:: For high performance processor design, cache memory size is an important parameter which directly affects performance and the chip area. Modeling performance and area is required for design tradeoff of cache memory. This paper describes a tool which calculates cache memory performance and area. A designer can try a variety of cache parameters to complete the specification of a cache memory. Data examples calculated using this tool are shown.
