- /loʊˈkælɪti/
- Specialized
- We say that the sequence has spatial locality if adjacent memory locations are accessed close together.
- spatial locality
- temporal locality
- locality unit
Examples
-
First, the lack of data locality causes a large number of cache misses.
Academic text (1997) -
While GPUs or powerful CPUs will not help, the locality optimizations should improve its performance.
Academic text (2018) -
As a result, locality has become a critical concern, and this is visible in the recent literature.
Academic text (2018) -
However, traditional solutions cannot exploit locality because they lack a global view of the scripts.
Academic text (2018) -
Section 4 explores the connection between locality and parallelism and presents the experimental results.
Academic text (2018) -
Note how the results are considerably better when exploiting locality than when using GPUs.
Academic text (2018) -
The accesses to x can have poor spatial and temporal locality, and can hence generate even more cache misses.
Academic text (1997) -
Next, the framework analyzes the dependency graph and generates bespoke parallel code with improved locality and superior performance.
Academic text (2018) -
All scripts profited from this locality optimization, which resulted in approximately a 4x speed-up with respect to Par alone.
Academic text (2018) -
The processor demonstrated high locality by frequently accessing the same data within short intervals, improving overall speed.

Etymology
Locality in computing keeps the same idea from the Latin locus ('place') and the word local; it describes data or actions that stay 'near' each other in computer memory so programs run faster.
