Process data caching through iterative feedback

Abstract:

Systems and methods for improved process caching through iterative feedback are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer implemented method comprises retrieving updated metadata of a process to be executed, wherein the updated metadata includes information regarding cache misses from a prior execution of the process; automatically modifying a setting of a data stream control register based on the updated metadata; automatically setting a hint at a data cache block touch module; performing an initial execution of the process after the steps of retrieving the updated metadata, automatically modifying the setting of the data stream control register, and automatically setting the hint at the data cache block touch module; and modifying the updated metadata of the process after the execution of the process based on cache miss statistical data gathered during the execution of the process, to produce newly updated metadata.
