Abstract
As CPU workload increases, the on-chip cache becomes a bottle-neck for data transfer. In this paper we evaluate the cache efficiency in terms of data bandwidth (BW), or the number of data accesses per cycle that a cache can handle. Four cache configurations are described and tested for the best BW performance. This paper deals not only with the type of two level cache configuration but also with the best size ratios of the two levels. Results given here are based on tests conducted with a cache simulation supporting two level cache configurations.
