For example, the default is options PQ_CACHESIZE=512 # color for 512k/16k cache What do 512k/16k refer to? I have an AMD Athlon chip with Data TLB: 24 entries, fully associative Instruction TLB: 16 entries, fully associative L1 data cache: 64 kbytes, 64 bytes/line, 1 lines/tag, 2-way associative L1 instruction cache: 64 kbytes, 64 bytes/line, 1 lines/tag, 2-way associative L2 internal cache: 256 kbytes, 64 bytes/line, 1 lines/tag, 8-way associative What do I use for PQ_CACHESIZE? Do I even use PQ_CACHESIZE? Is it deprecated?
