HWComponents-Cacti

This model connects CACTI to the HWComponents. It provides models for SRAM, DRAM, and caches. This is adapted from the Accelergy CACTI plug-in.

These models are for use with the HWComponents package, found at https://accelergy-project.github.io/hwcomponents/.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install hwcomponents-cacti

# Check that the installation is successful
hwc --list | grep SRAM
hwc --list | grep DRAM
hwc --list | grep Cache
