The cache plays a key role in determining the performance of applications, no matter for sequential or concurrent programs on homogeneous and heterogeneous architecture. Therefore, it is important to locate and differentiate cache misses accurately. This invention provides a first unified profiling tool–CachePerf–that can correctly and efficiently identify different types of cache misses while imposing reasonable overhead, differentiate issues of allocators from those of applications, and exclude minor issues without much performance impact.
