Abstract

We analyze quantitatively several strategies for better utilization of the cache or the fast access memory in computers. We define a performance factor α that denotes the fraction of the cache area utilized when the main memory is accessed at random. We calculate α exactly for different competing strategies, including the hash-rehash and the skewed-associative strategies which were earlier analyzed via simulations.
