Hit/Miss Cache calculator

A simple python3 hit or miss cache calculator, created to test a list of memory access in an hardware cache.

Getting Started

To get this program clone it with git via:

git clone https://github.com/dag7dev/hit-miss-cache-calc.git

Otherwise if you're not familiar with git you can download it as a zip from Here.

Prerequisites

To run this program you need Python, wich you can install from Here.

This program was written for Python 3.8.3, but hopefully it should be compatible with future versions of Python too as it uses really few imports.

Running

To run the program simply run:

main.py

Parameters

You can look at the available parameters by running:

main.py -h

The output should be something like this:

Usage: 
        no parameters: 
                interactive mode - write your own data
        -t: 
                test mode - work with an example - no other parameter needed
        -f filename: 
                file mode - import data from a json file - you shall pass the filename
        -h: 
                help mode - you are reading this!

NOTE: Keep in mind that the README could be not always updated with the latest parameters, so always refer to the output of main.py -h rather that what's written here.
