I think everyone interested in learning more about this topic should go read the following papers, they were very helpful when I was fiddling around in this area. These papers, in turn, reference several others which are good reads as well. 1) W. L. Lynch, B. K. Bray, and M. J. Flynn. "The effect of page allocation on caches". In Micro-25 Conference Proceedings, pages 222-225, December 1992. 2) W. Lynch and M. Flynn. "Cache improvements through colored page allocation". ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, 1993. Submitted for review, 1992. 3) William L. Lynch. "The Interaction of Virtual Memory and Cache Memory". PhD thesis, Stanford University, October 1993.
