CACTI for FinFETs operating at Cryogenc temperature of 10K for 7-nm technology node
- Download the PCACTI source code from the link below under the PACKAGE - PCACTI https://sportlab.usc.edu/downloads/download/
- Download the configs.tgz from https://github.com/marg-tools/Cryo-CACTI
- Download cryo_cacti.patch from https://github.com/marg-tools/Cryo-CACTI
- Download cryo-cacti_patch.sh from https://github.com/marg-tools/Cryo-CACTI
- Make sure all the downloaded files (configs.tgz, cryo_cacti.patch, cryo-cacti_patch.sh, pcacti.tar) are in same folder.
- Invoke chmod +x cryo-cacti_patch.sh to make the script executable
- Run the script as: ./cryo-cacti_patch.sh
- A directory named cryo_cacti is created which contains the patched CACTI code
- Go into the cryo_cacti directory: cd cryo_cacti
- Follow README file in cryo_cacti for instructions on compiling.
- Run an example of finfet operating at 300K and 10K using the following instructions: (a) ./cacti -infile configs/2MB_300K.cfg (b) ./cacti -infile configs/2MB_10K.cfg
