Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for improved collection of application profile data for performance optimization. The invention provides a mechanism for storing usage bits within the hardware cache of a computing device. These usage bits provide profile data by tracking the memory usage data. In one embodiment, the present invention also provides usage bits for each level of a multi-stage hardware cache to provide multi-stage usage tracking.
