Recent examinations of program behavior at run-time revealed distinct phases. Thus, it is evident that a framework for supporting hardware adaptation to phase behavior is needed. With the memory access behavior being most important and cache accesses being a very big subset of them, we herein propose an infrastructure for fitting cache accesses to a program’s requirements for a distinct phase.
