An analysis of the effects of miss clustering on the cost of a cache miss
In this paper we describe a new technique, called pipeline spectroscopy, and use it to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogra...

Optimizing for parallelism and data locality
Previous research has used program transformation to introduce parallelism and to exploit data locality. Unfortunately,these twoobjectives have usuallybeen considered independentl...

Inter-array Data Regrouping
Abstract. As the speed gap between CPU and memory widens, memory hierarchy has become the performance bottleneck for most applications because of both the high latency and low band...
