  abstract =     "The wide-spread use of microprocessor based systems
                 that utilize cache memory to alleviate excessively long
                 DRAM access times introduces a new dimension in the
                 quest to obtain good program performance. To fully
                 exploit the performance potential of these fast
                 processors, programmers must reason about their
                 program's cache performance. Heretofore, this topic has
                 been restricted to the supercomputer, multiprocessor,
                 and academic research community. It is now time to
                 introduce this topic into undergraduate computer
                 science curriculum. As part of the CURIOUS project at
                 Duke University, we are in the initial stages of
                 incorporating cache performance issues into an
                 undergraduate course on software design and
                 implementation. Specifically, we are introducing
                 students to the notion of a cache profile that maps
                 cache behavior to source lines and data structures, and
                 providing a cache profiler that can be used along with
                 other performance debugging tools. In the end, we hope
                 to produce cache conscious programmers that are able to
                 exploit the full performance potential of today's
                 computers.",
