Managing Data-Objects in Dynamically Reconfigurable Caches

The widening gap between processor and memory speeds makes cache an important issue in the computer system design.Compared with work set of programs,cache resource is often rare.Therefore,it is very important for a computer system to use cache efficiently.Toward a dynamically reconfigurable cache proposed recently,DOOC(Data-Object Oriented Cache),this paper proposes a quantitative framework for analyzing the cache requirement of data-objects, which includes cache capacity,block size,associativity and cohere...
