Ok this is only my second question, and it's quite a doozy. It's for a school assignment, but no one (including the TAs) seems to be able to help me. It's kind of a tall order but I'm not sure where else to turn.
Essentially the assignment was to make a cache simulator. This version is direct mapping and is actually only a small portion of the whole project, but if I can't even get this down I have no chance with other associativities. I'm posting my whole code because I don't want to make any assumptions about where the problem is.
This is the test case: http://www.mediafire.com/?ty5dnihydnw
And you run the following command:
./sims 512 direct 32 fifo wt pinatrace.out
You're supposed to get:
hits: 604037
misses 138349
writes: 239269
reads: 138349
But I get:
Hits: 587148
Misses: 155222
Writes: 239261
Reads: 155222
If anyone could at least point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I've been stuck on this for about 12 hours.
