ABSTRACT:
Color-based caching allows each cache line to be distinguished by a specific color, and enables the manipulation of cache behavior based upon the colors of the cache lines. When multiple threads are able to share a cache, effective cache management is critical to overall performance. Color-based caching provides an effective method to better utilize a cache and avoid unnecessary cache thrashing and/or pollution. The color based caching can be monitored to improve memory performance and guarantee Quality-Of-Service of cache utilization.
