Dynamic Cache Reconfiguration for Soft Real-Time Systems

This tool enables dynamic cache configuration to improve performance and reduce energy consumption without violating task deadlines. It statically profiles a set of tasks to determine the best cache configuration for each task phase and stores in a configuration table. Next, it utlizes the information from the configuration table to tune (dynamically reconfigure) the cache parameters during simulation (runtime) of differents tasks. Finally, it produces the energy saving results.
