[Disksim-users] problem cache replacement algorithm

[Abdul Arfan]

Dear disksim users,

Im using disksim 4 and, try to test several cache replacement algorithm,
I set the cache size to 16 and only use a very small trace file:

100 0   1   1   1
200 0   2   1   1
300 0   3   1   1
400 0   4   1   1
500 0   5   1   1
600 0   6   1   1
700 0   7   1   1
800 0   8   1   1
900 0   9   1   1
1000 0   10   1   1
1100 0   11   1   1
1200 0   12   1   1
1300 0   13   1   1
1400 0   14   1   1
1500 0   15   1   1
1600 0   16   1   1
1700 0   17   1   1
1800 0   18   1   1
1900 0   19   1   1
2000 0   20   1   1

to know what happed I add a print statement to the cache_replace function
in file disksim_cachemem.c.

However I found that only CACHE_REPLACE_SLRU works correctly
(it runs cache_replace 4 times),
other cache algorithm CACHE_REPLACE_FIFO stop after processing the line 17
(it only runs cache_replace function 1 time).

Is there anybody experiencing the same problem?
