Abstract
A method to obtain a cache miss ratio curve where a memory blocks of a cache have variable block sizes. By stacking sets of counters, each set being for a different block size, a stack distance for variable block sizes can be obtained and used to determine a miss ratio curve. Such curve can then be used to select a cache size that is appropriate for an application without requiring excessive memory. Methods can be used for batches of request, can apply limits to block sizes, and rounding for intermediary block sizes, they can be used with pruning, and their space complexity can be held constant.
