PYMIMIRCACHE

The study of cache has a long history, however, there is no single open-source platform for easy and efficient analysis of cache traces. That's why we are building PyMimircache, a Python3 platform for analyzing cache traces. It allows you to visualize your cache traces from different perspectives, and it incorporates time factor when comparing cache replacement algorithms... The KEY philosophy is that we would like to design a cache analysis platform that is efficient, flexible and easy to use. With these in mind, we designed PyMimircache in Python3 for easy usage and we implemented state-of-the-art algorithms in C as backend together with parallelism for efficiency. However, PyMimircache can also be used without C backend. Besides, PyMimircache allows user to plug in external reader for reading special data and allows user to write their own cache replacement algorithm easily... For all cache replacement algorithms, including the ones built-in and the ones you implement yourself,..
