Abstract

Cache performance is an important factor in hardware system. We proceed with a cache simulation to analyze the cache performance suitable for sound rendering. In addition, we introduce hardware models based on ray tracing used in geometric method and studies to improve cache performance. Cache simulation is performed on various conditions for cache size, way and block. Various simulations can be found to influence the cache hit rate. We compare cache simulation results with actual hardware performance to analyze cache performance suitable for sound rendering.

캐시의 성능은 하드웨어 시스템에서 중요한 요인이다. 본 논문은 사운드 렌더링에 적합한 캐시 성능을 분석하기 위해 캐시 시뮬레이션을 진행한다. 또한 본 논문은 기하학적 방법(Geometric method)에서 사용하는 광선 추적(Ray tracing) 기반의 하드웨어 모델들과 캐시 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구들을 소개한다. 캐시 시뮬레이션은 캐시 크기, 웨이, 블록에 대한 조건들에 대해 다양하게 진행된다. 다양한 시뮬레이션은 캐시 히트율에 영향을 미치는 요인을 찾을 수 있다. 본 논문은 캐시 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 하드웨어 성능을 비교하여 사운드 렌더링에 적합한 캐시 성능을 분석한다.
