Abstract

One of the principal problems facing the designer of a high performance computer system is the efficient handling of memory. In arranging a memory system the designer, lacking knowledge of the programs to be run, usually selects "worst case" assumptions concerning addressing patterns. This paper is an attempt to compare a set of selected disparate programs and analyze their actual addressing traces with respect to the various memory algorithms.
