Abstract :
We present a procedure placement method for embedded applications. We use the trace-driven simulation to collect information on the use of the cache line and then a heuristic algorithm to perform the placement. The main features of our method are a short computation time and a strong reduction of miss ratio. Experimental results shows an average miss rate reduction of 32%, but better improvements are obtained depending on the specific application
