Translating Timing into an Architecture: The Synergy of COTSon and HLS (Domain Expertise—Designing a Computer Architecture via HLS)

Figure 14

Evaluation of the L2-cache miss rate in the COTSon framework when using the matrix multiplication benchmark by varying cache sizes, number of nodes of the distributed system, and different Linux distribution (“xenv0” = Ubuntu 16.04, “karmic64” = Ubuntu 9.10, “trusty-axmv3” = Ubuntu 14.04, and “tfxv4” = Ubuntu 10.10). The Linux distribution “xenv0” shows the lowest L2 miss rate compared to the other Linux distributions for all the presented configurations.
