....much less time than a reference to an element not in the cache. A reference that hits the cache typically completes in a single cycle, while a reference that misses takes five to ten cycles on a uniprocessor machine, and as long as hundreds of cycles in a distributed memory multiprocessor [28, 36, 32, 2, 4]. This difference in access time has a strong impact on the performance of individual programs. Accordingly, much recent research in compilation has been directed at techniques that improve the likelihood of references hitting in the cache. Most of this work falls into two major categories. ....
