Changeset 10259:4bb098c2c0d8 --------------------------- arm: make the PseudoLRU tags the default for the O3_ARM_v7aL2 the Cortex-A15 has a random replacement policy for its L2 cache. see the Cortex-A15 Technical Reference Manual 1.7 About the L2 memory system. this patch makes the PseudoLRU tags the default for the ARM O3 CPU's L2 cache.
Used the memory latency benchmark from LMBench to evaluate the accuracy of gem5's memory system vs. a VExpress board, with this patch the accuracy is much improved. See figure 4a. here: http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~atgutier/papers/ispass_2014.pdf
