Abstract

This paper studies the theory of caching and temporal and spatial locality. We show the following results: (1) hashing can be used to guarantee that caches with limited associativity behave as well as fully associative cache; (2) temporal locality cannot be characterized using one, or few parameters; (3) temporal locality and spatial locality cannot be studied separately; and (4) unlike temporal locality, spatial locality cannot be managed efficiently online.
