Re: [gem5-users] Disable pre-fetching in l2 cache

Hi,
Prefetching will impact the replacement in a way it can bring non demand
dead blocks which will not be referenced in the application and force evict
a demand block.
You can disable prefetchers by editing src/configs/common/Caches.py and
setting the parameter “prefetcher” to NULL just for L2 cache.

[gem5-users] Disable pre-fetching in l2 cache

2019-12-03 Thread Charitha Saumya
Hi,

1. Can pre-fetching impact the performance of cache replacement policies
(e.g. LIP vs LRU)?
2. If so How can I completely disable prefetching in l2 cache?

Thanks
Charitha
