Abstract:
1. A method for a cache architecture simulation, comprising: performing a uniform cache architecture experiment on a sample space to obtain preliminary data, wherein preliminary data comprises a dense sample region; obtaining a first sample set using a non-stationary Gaussian field model, wherein the non-stationary Gaussian field model uses the preliminary data to obtain the first sample set; performing a cache architecture simulation using the first sample set to produce a first set of simulation data; fitting a first multivariate model to the first set of simulation data; obtaining a second sample set using the non-stationary Gaussian field model and the preliminary data if the first multivariate model is not within an acceptable error range, wherein the second sample set includes more data points than the first sample set; performing the cache architecture simulation using the second sample set to produce a second set of simulation data; fitting a second multivariate model to the second set of simulation data, wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the first multivariate model and the second multivariate model is used to perform at least one selected from the group consisting of designing the cache architecture and analyzing the cache architecture.
