Abstract

Systems and techniques are described for thread cache allocation. A described technique includes monitoring input and output accesses for a plurality of threads executing on a computing device that includes a cache comprising a quantity of memory blocks, determining a respective reuse intensity for each of the threads, determining a respective read ratio for each of the threads, determining a respective quantity of memory blocks for each of the partitions by optimizing a combination of cache utilities, each cache utility being based on the respective reuse intensity, the respective read ratio, and a respective hit ratio for a particular partition, and resizing one or more of the partitions to be equal to the respective quantity of the memory blocks for the partition.
