ABSTRACT:
A compiling method, for use with programs to be executed on a computer with cache memory, which programs would otherwise generate decreased performance due to cache conflicts arising from conflicting cache access(es), for reducing the generation of such cache conflict(s) by reordering the order of memory reference code in the program such that conflicting memory references do not start before the completion of memory accesses to a memory block.
