Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This article proposes a method of reducing cache misses on an instruction memory by inserting offsets before basic blocks of a given program. The addresses of the basic blocks are adjusted by a unit smaller than the cache block size. A combination of the offsets that minimizes cache miss counts, which are computed by cache simulation, is searched. Since exhaustive search would require time exponential to the number of the offsets, the solution is searched by simulated annealing. An experiment on 7 benchmarks, assuming a single-level direct-mapping instruction cache, resulted in about 10% reduction in the cache miss count on average.
