John McCalpin

This was a keynote presentation at the “2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling: Methods and Applications” (PMMA16), June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany (in conjunction with ISC16 ). Here I assumed a particular analytical function for the amount of memory traffic as a function of cache size to scale the bandwidth time.
