Example:

Suppose we wanted to simulate the execution of TEX on a cache with a random replacement policy, a copy-back write policy, a no-write allocate policy and two-way set associativity for cache sizes of 1k, 2k, 4k and 8k, and for block sizes of 8, 16 and 32 bytes, we would type:-

 nice $SRCDIR/doDinero.sh tex "1k 2k 4k 8k" "8 16 32" 2 r c n

The output from this would be written to a file called tex-a2-rr-wc-An.lis, and dependening on the server's load it may take from 20 minutes to 3 hours to complete.
