Help for the assignments in lab 1

2. Download all the files for the second assignment in your local directory and simply type make. The programs will be compiled and then simulated on the SimpleScalar architecture with sim-cache. The simulations take some time, so do not worry if you think that the computer seems to do nothing (look at the CPU-load indicator to see that it's actually doing a lot of "hard work")
   
   
3. Create 3 configuration files for sim-cheetah, e.g. d.cfg, i.cfg and u.cfg and run a simulation based on each of these 3 files. For simplicity of your actions, you may use a makefile like this one. Just copy this file in the directory where you created the configuration files and then type make.
   
   When writing the configuration files, pay attention to the format of such files: each simulator has a different set of arguments, therefore each simulator has a different configuration file content. You can obtain the default configuration file for sim-cheetah by typing:
   
   sim-cheetah -q -dumpconfig file-name
