Efficient and Flexible Characterization of Data Locality through Native Execution Sampling

Data locality is central to modern computer designs. The widening gap between processor speed and memory latency has introduced the need for a deep hierarchy of caches. Thus, the performance of an application is to a large extent dependent on the amount of data locality the caches can exploit. Some...
