Heatmap Plotting¶
Plotting Heatmaps¶
Another great feature of mimircache is that it allows you to incorporate time component into consideration, making cache analysis from static to dynamic. Currently six types of heatmaps are supported (only hit_ratio_start_time_end_time and rd_distribution are frequently used and tested, others may have a bug, please file a bug at http://github.com/1a1a11a/mimircache):
Plot Types¶
For all the plot types, the X-axis is the time in percent (either real or virtual).
plot type | Y-axis | plot detail |
hit_ratio_start_time_end_time | end time (real or virtual) in percent | pixel (x, y) means the hit ratio from time x to time y. |
rd_distribution | reuse distance | reuse distance distribution graph, pixel (x, y) represents at time x+time_interval, the number of requests have reuse distance of y (shown in color). |
rd_distribution_CDF | reuse distance | similar to reuse distance distribution graph, but each points (x, y) represents the percent of requests have reuse distance less than or equal to y. |
future_rd_distribution | future reuse distance | future reuse distance distribution graph, future reuse distance is defined as how far in the future, it will be accessed again. |
hit_ratio_start_time_cache_size | cache size | each vertical line x=t is a hit ratio curve of trace starting at t |
avg_rd_start_time_end_time | end time (real or virtual) in percent | pixel (x, y) means average reuse distance of requests from time x to time y |
How to Plot¶
Plotting heatmaps are easy, just calling the following function on cachecow,
>>> c.heatmap(mode, plot_type, time_interval=-1, num_of_pixels=-1,
algorithm="LRU", cache_params=None, cache_size=-1, **kwargs)
The first two parameters are mode and plot_type, time mode is either r or v for real time or virtual time, the types of plot(see table above) The following keyword arguments are optional, however, you must provide one of time_interval and number_of_pixels, which controls fine the graph will look like and also determines the amount of computation. The time_interval variable implies the time span of a single pixel in the plot, sometimes it is not easy to estimate time_interval, so instead you can provide the number of pixels you want in one dimension.
Note
If you do not want the computation time to be very long, then specify a big time_interval or small num_of_pixels.
Keyword Arguments | Default Value | Possible Values | Necessary |
time_interval | “-1” | a time interval | provide this value or num_of_pixels |
num_of_pixels | “-1” | the number of pixels on one dimension | provide this value or time_interval |
algorithm | “LRU” | All available cache replacement algorithms | No |
cache_params | None | Depends on cache replacement algorithms | Depends on cache replacement algorithms, for example LRU_K |
cache_size | -1 | Positive integer | Necessary for plot “hit_ratio_start_time_end_time” |
figname | heatmap.png | Any string, remember to include suffix | No |
num_of_threads | 4 | Positive integer except 0 | No |
Attention: cache_size is necessary for hit_ratio_start_time_end_time graph.
Ploting Examples¶
>>> c.heatmap('r', "hit_ratio_start_time_end_time", num_of_pixels=200, cache_size=2000, figname="heatmap1.png", num_of_threads=8)
Another example
>>> c.heatmap('r', "rd_distribution", time_interval=10000000)
Plotting Differential Heatmaps¶
Want to know which algorithm is better? Not satisfied with hit ratio curve or miss ratio curve because they only show you the result over the whole trace? You are in the right place! Differential heatmaps allow you to compare cache replacement algorithms with respect to time.
Currently we only support differential heatmap of hit_ratio_start_time_end_time, each pixel (x, y) in the plot implies the hit ratio difference between algorithm1 and algorithm2 and divided by hit ratio of algorithm 1 from time x to y. The function to plot is shown below:
>>> c.diff_heatmap(mode, plot_type, algorithm1, time_interval=-1, num_of_pixels=-1,
algorithm2="Optimal", cache_params1=None, cache_params2=None, cache_size=-1, **kwargs)
The arguments here are similar to plotting heatmaps, the only difference is that we have one more algorithm, which is used for comparison,
Example: >>> c.diff_heatmap(‘r’, “hit_ratio_start_time_end_time”, time_interval=1000000, algorithm1=”LRU”, cache_size=2000)
