There is no problem with the starting point. At starting point there
is nothing in cache. The stats are calculated at the end of simulation
and we want to calculate the items in the cache.
You are right, there is nothing in the cache when the simulation starts,
which means that all the quantities will have a value of 0. How can that
ever sum up to 1? In which case you are wrong in claiming that these
values should add up to 1.
Why do you expect these numbers should add up to 100%?
Let me say this example:
There is a dish that contains 2 apples and 8 oranges. Then total
number of items are 10. Now the occupancy percentage for apples is
(2/10)*100=20% and the occupancy percentage for oranges is
(8/10)*100=80%
=> occ_percent::apples + occ_percent::oranges = 100%
What if the dish can actually hold 20 fruits in total, but only 2 apples
and 8 oranges are present? What would be the occupancy?
