Cache Simulator

This repository contains a simple cache simulator implemented in C. The simulator consists of a memory subsystem with cache and memory modules. The cache is designed as a direct-mapped cache with a write-allocate policy.

Features

• Cache Simulation: Simulates a direct-mapped cache with read and write operations.
• Memory Module: Emulates a memory subsystem with random data generation.
• Cache Miss and Hit Handling: Demonstrates cache hit and miss scenarios and performs appropriate actions.

Implementation Details

• The cache is implemented with a fixed size and block size defined by constants.
• Memory is represented as a 2D array.
• Cache lines are implemented as structs containing validity, tag, and data fields.
• Cache is initialized and managed in memory-efficient ways.

Usage

To run the cache simulator:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cachesimulator.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

   cd cachesimulator

3. Compile the source code:

   gcc -o cache cache.c

4. Run the executable:

   ./cache
