===== Overview =====

This section contains different types of caches that can be plugged into OoOSysC. As all OoOSysC modules cache modules have been developed using SystemC. These different caches can be used as level 1 and level 2 (and 3, and 4, etc.) caches. 



All these modules need functionalites that are found in OoOSysC, as the miss address file, the cache container, etc. 



The article MicroLib: Toward an easier Quantitative Comparison of Micro-Architecture Mechanisms with a comparison of the different mechanism was accepted at WDDD 2004 (WDDD2004 web page). An updated version can be found here.
