# Block Replacement Policy for Hybrid Cache
This codebase implements a **Block Replacement Policy** in a hybrid cache, aimed at enhancing the lifetime of the Non-Volatile Cache.
For detailed insights, refer to this [slide](https://github.com/Zeekersky/Block-Replacement-MacSIM/blob/main/Slides.pdf).

## Requirements
To build **MacSim**, ensure the following are in place:
1. **Operating System:**
Currently, only Linux distributions are supported. MacSim has been tested on:
- Ubuntu
- Redhat (TODO)
2. **Compiler:**
Any compiler that supports the C++0x (or C++11) standard.
Verified to work with:
- `gcc` 4.4 or higher
- `icc` (work in progress)
3. **SConstruct:**
Install `scons` using:
```bash
sudo apt-get install scons
```
4. **Libraries:**
The following libraries are required:
- **zlib:** Install using:
```bash
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
```
- **Python:** Ensure Python is installed for the build process.
Install Python with:
```bash
sudo apt-get install python
```
## Build Instructions
To compile MacSim, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository (if not already done):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Zeekersky/Block-Replacement-MacSIM
cd Block-Replacement-MacSIM
```
2. Build the project:
```bash
./build.py
```
3. Verify the build:
- If successful, the 'macsim' binary should be present inside the 'bin' directory.
## Run Instructions
After building the project, proceed with the following steps to run MacSim:
1. Navigate to the bin directory:
```bash
cd bin
```
2. Ensure the following files are present in the bin directory:
- [params.in](https://github.com/Zeekersky/Block-Replacement-MacSIM/blob/main/bin/params.in)
- [trace_file_list](https://github.com/Zeekersky/Block-Replacement-MacSIM/blob/main/bin/trace_file_list)
3. Run the MacSIM binary:
```bash
./macsim
```
