Description
Summary:This paper analyses some design altematives for the MULTIPLUS cache memory subsystem architecture. MUL TIPLUS is a high performance multiprocessor system under development at NCE/UFRJ. The analysis is carried out using a simu1ator which supports different cache configurations. The simulator experiments have been done under three different situations: a non-cache system and the use of write back and write through control policies. The graphical results show the system behaviour in relation to the average ratio of bus occupation and the average processor cycle length.
