CACHE (PARTITION) SIZE DETERMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with workload working set size determination, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, at least one computer-readable storage medium includes instructions stored therein to cause an apparatus to intermittently sample memory access operations associated with execution of a workload; generate a trace of memory addresses of the memory access operations sampled; generate a profile of average memory footprints for various trace window sizes; and generate a profile of cache miss rate. The profile of cache miss rate is used to determine a working set size of the workload. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
