Dear List,
I would like to leverage `gem5` to monitor the cache access of a program during
the runtime.
In particular, considering the following program in assembly code, I would like
to know, when executing the third memory access instruction (let's say its
memory address is 0x123456), which cache line it is accessing.
0x123430: add eax, 1
0x123440: mov eax, ebx
0x123456: load eax, [0x8042420] <----------- load memory content from
memory address 0x8042420
The simulation is on `32-bit x86` architecture. I am using some median-size C
program for testing. I watched some tutorials to get familiar with the basic
functionality of `gem5`, but still have no idea how to intercept the cache
state for my need during runtime. I am aware the existence of the probe
utility, but I do find it is hard for me to start with it, especially I would
like to check the cache access regarding certain lines of instructions.
I am a newbie to `gem5`, and I am actually not an expert in computer
architecture related stuff.. Sorry if it is a very trivial question.. Any
advice and suggestion would be appreciated, thank you!
