This is the implementation of the cache simulator for a processor in the c++ language.

FILES

1. cache_simulate.cpp : This file contains the code for the cache simulator.
2. memory_trace_files : This folder contains the memory trace files.
3. makefile : This file contains the commands to compile and run the code.
4. combine.py : This file contains the code to combine the memory trace files plots in the folders plot1,plot2,plot3,plot4 and plot5 into a single file graph_data.txt.
5. Report.pdf : This file contains the report for the assignment.
6. plot1,plot2,plot3,plot4 and plot5 : These folders contain the outputs for the memory trace files.

MAKEFILE

The makefile contains the following commands:

1. all : This command compiles the code.
2. clean : This command removes the executable file. To run the code, use the following commands: with the parameters
