FIGURE B.14 Miss rates versus cache size for multilevel caches . Second-level caches
smaller than the sum of the two 64 KB first-level caches make little sense, as reflected in the
high miss rates. After 256 KB the single cache is within 10% of the global miss rates. The
miss rate of a single-level cache versus size is plotted against the local miss rate and global
miss rate of a second-level cache using a 32 KB first-level cache. The L2 caches (unified)
were two-way set associative with replacement. Each had split L1 instruction and data caches
that were 64 KB two-way set associative with LRU replacement. The block size for both L1
and L2 caches was 64 bytes. Data were collected as in Figure B.4 .
