351 Cache Simulator

System Parameters:

Configuring the cache system. Each row lets you adjust a parameter. Address width sets how many bits represent the address space (drop-down menu). Cache size controls total capacity in bytes (drop-down menu). Block size selects bytes per block (radio buttons). Associativity determines number of cache ways (radio buttons). Write Hit and Write Miss define write policies (drop-down menus). Replacement chooses the block replacement strategy (drop-down menu).

Address width:		bits
Cache size:		bytes
Block size:	2 4 8 bytes
Associativity:	1 2 4 way(s)
Write Hit:
Write Miss:

Welcome!

This tutorial will walk you through the 351 Cache Simulator.

System Parameters

Use the panel on the left to configure address width, cache size, block size, associativity, and write policies.

Manual Memory Access

Use the Read, Write, and Flush buttons to simulate cache operations. Enter addresses and data in the textboxes.

Results & History

Watch cache hits/misses update live. The message box shows details of each action, and the history log keeps track of past commands.

Visualization

The diagram on the right shows cache sets and blocks visually. This helps you see what’s happening under the hood.
