This project simulates how cache memory operates using various replacement algorithms. It allows users to interactively observe how different policies impact cache performance. The tool is designed primarily for educational purposes, helping students and developers understand cache behavior and replacement strategies in a visual, step-by-step way.
Features
Step-by-step simulation of memory access sequences
Auto-run mode for full automated processing
Real-time performance statistics:
Total accesses
Cache hits and misses
Hit and miss rates
Supports multiple replacement algorithms:
FIFO (First-In-First-Out)
LRU (Least Recently Used)
LFU (Least Frequently Used)
Random Replacement
Visual cache memory state with animated feedback
Descriptions and explanations of each algorithm
Responsive UI with clean, modern styling using CSS and JavaScript
Technologies Used
HTML5
CSS3 (with custom styles and animations)
Vanilla JavaScript (no external libraries or frameworks)
