/**
 * A CompressedTags cache tag store.
 * @sa  \ref gem5MemorySystem "gem5 Memory System"
 *
 * The Compression Ratio (CR) of a superblock is defined by
 *     CR = uncompressed_size / compressed_size.
 *
 * The CompressedTags placement policy divides the cache into s sets of w
 * superblocks (ways). Each superblock can then contain up to CR compressed
 * blocks.
 *
 * For each tag entry there can be multiple data blocks. We have the same
 * number of tags a conventional cache would have, but we instantiate the
 * maximum number of data blocks (according to the compression ratio) per
 * tag, to virtually implement compression without increasing the complexity
 * of the simulator.
 *
 * This is a simple implementation of cache compression, where superblocks
 * can only have at most numBlocksPerSector compressed blocks, each compressed
 * to at least (100/numBlocksPerSector)% of its size.
 *
 * numBlocksPerSector holds the maximum number of blocks a superblock with
 * the best possible compression factor would hold. It is equivalent to CR
 * from the previous definition.
