Abstract: Sparse matrices are in the kernel of numerical applications. Their compressed storage, which permits both operations and memory savings, generates irregular access patterns, reducing the performance of the memory hierarchy. In this work we present a probabilistic model for the prediction of the number of misses of a direct mapped cache memory, considering sparse matrices with a uniform entries distribution. The number of misses is directly related to the program execution time and the memory... (Update)
