Abstract
Improved cache performance is crucial to improved code performance. By visualizing cache behavior as the program is simulated, this memory analysis tool dynamically represents cache phenomena. The results can guide developers in making better software and hardware optimizations. The authors have developed a cache visualization tool which both dynamically visualizes cache content and provides related statistics
