>Has there been any measurable benefit yet due to tail padding? We don't have data that tail padding actually helps. It all depends on what data the linker lays out in the cachelines.
As of now we just want to create the infrastructure (so that more and more people who need it, can use it). >It would also be interesting to check the wastage/savings on another large >cache architecture like S390 (which has a 256 byte cache line) S390 folks or others might help get the data. I don't have other machines on hand.
