Abstract
A processor cache is indexed by a group of distinct page colors. The use of this cache by different working sets is controlled using page coloring. Translations of virtual addresses of the instructions and/or data of a working set are constrained to physical addresses the page colors of which are in a subgroup of the group of distinct page colors.
