Useful tip

You may like to use a script provided for extracting the data miss rate information from the dinero output. This is called missRate.sh and is located in;

    ~cs3/comparch/Coursework/src/partII

This is an awk script (try man awk if not familiar) which can be used as follows, assuming a bash shell:

 export SRCDIR=/home/cs3/comparch/Coursework/src/partII
 zcat cc1.din.Z | dinero -b16 -i8k -b8k | awk -f $SRCDIR/missRate.awk

This awk script tells the awk program to compute the data miss rate from the information in the dinero output and to print it to standard output. No other output is produced. This is useful for constructing tabulated results (see next question).
