        'L3' => ['zen4' => 45, 'zen5' => 40]   // 周期
    ];
    
    public function getLatencyImprovement($cache_level) {
        $zen4_latency = $this->cache_levels[$cache_level]['zen4'];
        $zen5_latency = $this->cache_levels[$cache_level]['zen5'];
        
        return (($zen4_latency - $zen5_latency) / $zen4_latency) * 100;
    }
}

        $improvement_factor = 1 + 
            ($this->workload_types[$type][array_key_first(
                $this->workload_types[$type]
            )] / 100);
