我正在使用Cachegrind、Callgrind和Gem5进行一些实验。我注意到在缓存模拟器中,许多存储访问被计算为读取,而在Callgrind中被计算为写入,而在Gem5中则同时被计算为读取和写入。
我们来看一个非常简单的例子:
int main() {
int i, l;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
l++;
... (100 times)
}
}
我使用以下命令进行编译:
gcc ex.c --static -o ex
因此,根据汇编文件,addl $1, -8(%rbp)
被执行了 100,000 次。由于它既是读取操作又是写入操作,我本来期望有 100k 次读取和 100k 次写入。但是,cachegrind 只计算了读取次数,callgrind 只计算了写入次数。

有人能给我一个合理的解释吗?如果我认为实际上有大约100k个读取和100k个写入操作(即添加了2个缓存访问),那么我的想法是正确的吗?
