Abstract
A processor device includes a cache and a memory storing a set of counters. Each counter of the set is associated with a corresponding block of a plurality of blocks of the cache. The processor device further includes a cache access monitor to, for each time quantum for a series of one or more time quanta, increment counter values of the set of counters based on accesses to the corresponding blocks of the cache. The processor device further includes a transfer engine to, after completion of each time quantum, transfer the counter values of the set of counters for the time quantum to a corresponding location in a system memory.
