Description

This paper describes SMAT (STL Memory Access Tracer), a portable and easy-to-use cache profiling tool in the form of a trace-driven cache simulator, with traces collected by the source-level instrumentation. The trace-generating function is implemented as an iterator adaptor compatible with the C++ Standard Template Library (STL), so it requires little or no modification of the algorithm to be profiled.
