RDVIS project helps programmers pin-point the sources of cache misses and poor temporal locality in their source code. The visualization often directs the experienced programmer towards the necessary program transformations within a few minutes.

The tool consists of two parts: a GUI that visualizes the low temporal locality patterns, and a patched GCC compiler to extract the low-locality patterns from programs.

Requirements:
Java 1.5

What's New in This Release:
In this release, it is possible to measure both "reuse distance" and "time distance" using gcc-slo by setting the environment variable "RDLIB_MEASURE_TRUE_REUSE_DISTANCE".
In previous releases, only the "time distance" could be measured.
