<div class="paragraph">
|

<p>Notably, we now see that very little time passed between the first and second instructions which are marked with <code>ExecEnable</code> in #39 and #47, presumably because rather than going out all the way to the DRAM system the event chain stops right at the <code>icache.cpu_side</code> when a hit happens, which must have been the case for the second instruction, which is just adjacent to the first one.</p>

<p>It is also interested to look into the generated <a href="gem5-config-ini.html"><code>config.dot.svg</code></a> to compare it to the one without caches: <a href="gem5-event-queue-timingsimplecpu-syscall-emulation-freestanding-example-analysis.html#config-dot-svg-timingsimplecpu">Figure 3, “<code>config.dot.svg</code> for a TimingSimpleCPU without caches.”</a>.

<div class="paragraph">
|

<p>We can see from there, that we now have <code>icache</code> and <code>dcache</code> elements inside the CPU block, and that the CPU <code>icache</code> and <code>dcache</code> ports go through the caches to the <code>SystemXBar</code> rather than being directly connected as before.</p>

<p>It is worth noting that the caches do not affect the <code>ArmITB</code> and <code>ArmDTB</code> <a href="arm-paging.html">TLBs</a>, since those are already caches themselves.</p>

<p>By comparing this trace from the this cache hit and the previous cache miss, we see that <a href="https://github.com/gem5/gem5/blob/9fc9c67b4242c03f165951775be5cd0812f2a705/src/mem/cache/base.cc#L337"><code>BaseCache::recvTimingReq</code></a> decides between either: <code>Cache::handleTimingReqHit</code> and <code>Cache::handleTimingReqMiss</code>, and from there we see that the key function that decides if the block is present is <a href="https://github.com/gem5/gem5/blob/9fc9c67b4242c03f165951775be5cd0812f2a705/src/mem/cache/base.cc#L1033"><code>BaseCache::access</code></a>.</p>
