✨ NAME ✨

polygraph-pop-test — predicts cache hit ratios for a given workload 🦋

like... that's her whole thing. she looks at your workload and tells you how many cache hits you're gonna get. icon behavior.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pop-test [--option ...]

that's it. that's the vibe. you run pop-test and you sprinkle --options on top like glitter. ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay bestie, here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, every single one:

  • --help — list of options. yes she will literally list the options for you. we love a self-aware queen. 👑
  • --version — package version info. so you know exactly which era of her you're dealing with. 💅
  • --out <file> — redirect console output. send her thoughts somewhere else, into a <file>. 🎀
  • --cachable <%> — portion of cachable replies. yes, spelled "cachable", that's canon, don't come for her. what percentage of the replies can actually be cached. 🍓
  • --public_interest <%> — portion of URLs shared among all robots. how much of the URL space is, like, communal property. everybody's touching those URLs. 🙈
  • --recurrence <%> — probability of a re-visit to a URL. the chance a robot comes back to the same URL like an ex who "just wants to talk". 😭
  • --work_set_size <size> — working set size. the size of the working set. she said what she said. 🌸
  • --cache_size <size> — cache size. how big the cache is. the bigger the cache, the more room for stuff. 🦋
  • --obj_size <size> — average object size. on average, how chunky each object is. 🧚
  • --robots <int> — total number of robots to simulate. an <int>-sized army of little robots, all crawling. main character energy, multiplied. 🔥
  • --pop_model <str> — popularity model. which popularity model to run, given as a <str>. 🎀
  • --sim_length <int> — total number of request to simulate. how many requests the whole simulation runs for. yes the original says "request", singular, and I'm not about to edit her grammar, that's her brand. 💀
real talk: every <%>, <size>, <int> and <str> up there is a placeholder, so swap in your actual values, okay? don't type the pointy brackets.
