An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from caches on different cache levels. The caches comprise a plurality of cache line addresses, each cache line address associated with a corresponding name. The software causes the processor to display the information on a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI cross-referencing each of the cache line addresses with a corresponding name.
