Abstract
In one set of embodiments, a hardware module of a computer system can receive a stream of addresses corresponding to memory units being accessed by a central processing unit (CPU) of the computer system. The hardware module can further generate a frequency estimate for each address in the stream of addresses, the frequency estimate being indicative of a number of times a memory unit identified by the address has been accessed by the CPU, and can determine, based on the generated frequency estimates, a set of n most frequently accessed memory units.
