Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to simulate performance of a multi-core system. A micro-architecture effect is estimated from each core in the multi-core system. A model of a memory hierarchy associated with each core is simulated. The simulated model of the memory hierarchy is superpositioned on the estimated micro-architecture effect to produce a performance figure for the multi-core system.
