Detecting the phase behavior on cache performance using the reuse distance vectors

Using the simulation points found by RDVs, the average relative error of cache miss rate estimation is as low as 1.08%, which outperforms the accuracies of BBVs and EIPVs by 79% and 22% (all compared methods use the same number of simulation points that takes merely 0.4% of the whole program). Meanwhile, the average errors of MLP and the cache miss service time are only 0.9% and 1.8%, respectively.
