The first program is called Cache and is a trace-driven simulator and the second one is a simulator named, CDLR SPEC 2000. Cache is a simulation program for the analysis of cache memory systems. CDLR SPEC 2000 is a simulator based on traces for systems with cache memories. Despite the hitrate and miss rate parameters, reliability issues are also considered. %K simulation %K cache memory %K MTTF %K MTTDL %U http://electroinf.uoradea.ro/reviste%20CSCS/documente/JCSCS_2009/Articole_pdf_JCSCS_C_nr_2/JCSCS_2009_Nr_2_CS_Novac_A_Comparative.pdf
