That's a nice explanation, thanks.

Are there any common resources for this kind of access methods and patterns that specifically aim to bridge the soft-/hardware gap? The best one I can come up with is Performance Analysis and Tuning on Modern CPUs[0] by Denis Bakhvalov.

I recently came across https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/perfb... , it draws from author's experience about applying optimizations in linux codebase .

I also like this very readable paper https://xnning.github.io/papers/perceus.pdf, about reducing the costs of reference counting in context of functional languages.
