Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates modeling the effects of overlapping of memory references in a queueing system model. The system receives a memory reference during execution of a queueing system model. Upon receiving the memory reference, the system determines if the memory reference generates a cache miss. If so, the system models the cache miss in a manner that accounts for possible overlapping of the cache miss with other memory references and other processor operations.
