Cache Size Impact on CPU Performance by Aruna Shanmugakumar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses performance measurements of symmetric shared memory multiprocessors. It analyzes the performance of commercial workloads like OLTP on the AlphaServer 4100 which shows poor performance due to high L3 cache misses. Increasing the L3 cache size and making it 2-way associative improves execution time by reducing conflict misses. For multiprogramming workloads, the parallel make benchmark is analyzed which shows most time is spent in CPU idle waiting for I/O. Increasing data cache sizes r
