Why Should I Care About This Code Sample?

The examples show the usage of cache and branch prediction simulators from a programmer’s point of view.


Abstract/Overview

The code examples copy several regions of memory and execute forward and backward branches in an arbitrary order, register memory and branch callback functions, notify corresponding simulator modules and finally read out the results of simulation.
