  cache conflict
       
           A sequence of accesses to memory repeatedly
          overwriting the same cache entry.  This can happen if two
          blocks of data, which are mapped to the same set of cache
          locations, are needed simultaneously.
       
          For example, in the case of a direct mapped cache, if
          arrays A, B, and C map to the same range of cache locations,
          thrashing will occur when the following loop is executed:
       
          	for (i=1; iping-pong.
