INTRODUCTION: Cachetest is a small POSIX compliant appliation allowing for the characterization and study of contemporary memory hierarchies.
COMPILING: The cachtest suite utilizes the gnu autoconf process for generating makefiles and determining system header file compatibility.
If you wish to use Cachetest with PAPI support, use --with-papi= If PAPI is globally installed and visible via your PATH settings, you do not need this option. Alternatively, Cachetest ships with a custom PMU event interface, which is used if no PAPI installation is found.
./configure make (optionally) make install
RUNNING: Cachetest can be run directly via the binary which was installed, or via the testing scripts found in scripts/ .
