Descriptions:

./traces/{2_pools, cs, cpp, gli, ps, sprite, multi1, multi2, multi3} are the trace files from LIRS. (String format)
./traces/{w001, w002, ..., w106} : 106 week-long virtual disk traces collected by CloudPhysics’s caching analytics service in production VMware environments. (Binary format)
./traces/{msr_proj, msr_src1, msr_src2, msr_web1} : 4 week-long enterprise server traces collected by Microsoft Research Cambridge. (Binary format)
./traces/{Financial1, Financial2, websearch1, websearch2, websearch3} : 5 I/O traces from the UMass Trace Repository. (String format)
./traces/{SCAN, Zigzag} : SCAN and Zigzag pattern respectively.

The binary-format trace is an array of unsigned int values (LBN:logical block number. For example, w101, you can use bvi w106 to view the binary content).

Install boost

sudo apt install libboost-all-dev

--trace : which trace you want to run
--trace_folder : folder store trace parameter, file name requires to keep the same as the trace file
--readbinary : read file in binary mode
--mem_size : cache size
--method : using which replace algorithm(lirs2, lru, opt, lirs, arc)
--batch : select false if there is a specific trace you want to run
--trace_list : file that defines the trace list (--batch set to true)

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make -j32

Running a single trace with string format

./replace --method=lirs2 --trace=Zigzag

Running a single trace with binary format

./replace --method=lirs2 --trace=w106  --readbinary=true

Running multiple traces with string format (must contain list.txt in the folder)

./replace --method=lirs2 --batch=true --trace_list="list.txt"

Running multiple methods including "lirs", "lirs2", "lru", "opt", "arc" (must contain list.txt in the folder)

./replace --method=all --batch=true --trace_list="list.txt"
