Hi All In performance benchmark tools, When we profile read/write timings mostly, those read/writes are done to cache only.
I want to measure my DDR(RAM chip) performance. So i want to make sure, every read/write should happen to DDR RAM chip only.
let' see.... what if you do read and write pattern, in certain order so that it will be invalidated by the L1/L2/L3 cache everytime? AFAIK, one thing for sure, reading data from sequentially and re-read them will make end up reading cache in the 2nd operation and so on. I think the most certain way to do it is to read data (or write) data bigger than total L1/L2/L3 cache. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
