Computation method for computing performance value when processor executes code, computation apparatus for computing performance value when processor executes code, and computer readable storage medium storing computation program for computing performance value when processor executes code

Abstract

A computation method includes: obtaining one or more first performance values of one or more instructions in a specific code for each of a plurality of first combinations of behavior result of a cache memory when a plurality of accesses to a memory area are executed; obtaining a second combination of behavior result of the cache memory when the plurality of accesses are executed based on an execution result of behavior simulation of the cache memory for a case where a processor executes a program including the specific code; and computing, by a computer, a third performance value when the processor executes the specific code based on one or more second performance values of the one or more instructions corresponding to the second combination among the one or more first performance values when the second combination is included in the plurality of first combinations.
