Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for configuring programmatic objects for cache co-location. The method can include the steps of counting a frequency of access for individual fields in the object in a static analysis, rearranging the fields in the object based upon the counted frequency in the static analysis, and executing the object. Subsequently, a frequency of access for the individual fields in the object further can be counted in a dynamic analysis. Consequently, the fields in the object can be further rearranged based upon the counted frequency in the dynamic analysis to produce an optimal grouping for placement in cache memory. In a preferred aspect of the invention, access types for the individual fields can be identified. Subsequently, the rearranging step and the further rearranging step can be performed based both upon the counted frequency and also upon the access types.
