Characterization of L3 Cache Behavior of Java Application Server
Overview This paper investigates the performance of L3 cache of Java Application server, taking SPECjAppServer2002 as the representative workload. Shared L3 cache with sizes ranging from 4M to 1G are simulated utilizing the Programmable Hardware-Assisted Cache Emulator (PHA$E). Additionally, the impact of heap size and garbage collection method on the behavior of the L3s under study is analyzed. Heap sizes of 0.75G to 1.5G are simulated. Parallel and generational concurrent garbage collection methods are compared. Finally, the push cache technique that has the priority agent to place updated lines to the cache in place of sending read invalidate requests is evaluated.
