Researchers have developed many different methods for evaluating locality, however there exists no standard method of evaluation that incorporates all aspects of temporal and spatial locality. In this chapter we introduce an advanced form of locality surface that incorporates all aspects of temporal and spatial locality into one three-dimensional surface. Examining a locality surface for a particular workload gives significant information about sequential, temporal and loop constructs. This gives researchers a new avenue for characterizing workloads and examining locality quantitatively. We use our new locality surface to characterize the SPECint benchmark suite.
