ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a stack distance including spatial locality for running software. The method may include receiving a plurality of memory references each including a corresponding address. The method may also include performing a merge function on each address corresponding to each received memory reference to generate a modified version of each corresponding address, and then performing a first hash function on the modified version of each corresponding address. In addition, the method may include performing a filter function on each address corresponding to each received memory reference. The method may further include selectively storing an indication representative of the modified version of each corresponding address in a hash table dependent upon results of the first hash function and the filter function. A stack distance may then be determined based upon contents of the hash table.
