Abstract
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches on different cache levels, the information associated with a common address. The software also causes the processor to provide the information to a user of the software. The information comprises cache level and cache type information associated with a particular cache from one of the different cache levels.
