Heh, and I know even less, just a PDU. But, if someone reading this actually understands the original question, tell me how close I am with my guesses:
1. A text file of an address stream would be merely a list of addresses and timestamps, right?
2. If so, a stream with "good spatial locality but poor temporal locality" would just be a list with a wider range of addresses over a very short period of time - right? Or is it the other way around, addresses near each other over a long time?
(2a - Good temporal and bad spatial is the opposite I guess)
The rest - I only wish I knew. It sounds like something cool to know, but all I know about cache is that bigger can be better, but optimization is critical.
