Methods for Creating and Exploiting Data Locality

Methods for Creating and Exploiting Data Locality

The gap between processor speed and memory latency has led to the use of caches in the memory systems of modern computers. Programs must use the caches efficiently and exploit data locality for maximum performance. Multiprocessors, built from many processing units, are becoming commonplace not only...
