Any way to profile code for cache behavior?

Question

As the title says, I would like to somehow get the behavior of the cache of my code. I am using the 64-bit version of Windows 7, compiling with Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, compiling C ++ code.

I understand that Valgrind is under Linux, but are there any free alternatives that I could use, or methods otherwise?

Answer 1

VTune will give you a fairly detailed analysis of the cache and pipeline. It is not cheap. I believe that some level / edition of VS (I remember that it was a “team release” on XP) had a decent profiler.
