Abstract
A methodology for analyzing memory behavior has been developed for the purpose of evaluating memory system design. MPAT, a memory pattern analysis tool, was used to profile memory transactions of dynamic instruction traces. The paper first describes the memory model and metrics gathered by MPAT. Then the metrics are evaluated in order to determine what hardware and software changes should be made to improve memory system performance
