Abstract
A method for modeling a system configuration, including isotonizing an unconstrained additive model of a cache architecture to obtain an isotonic additive model for the cache architecture, wherein the isotonic additive model is of the same functional form as the unconstrained additive model, smoothing the isotonic additive model using a flat spot technique to obtain a characterization of the cache architecture, and modeling a system configuration using the characterization of the cache architecture.
