   Yes -there has been plenty of work to improve the cache hit ratio,   
   mostly for the data cache. [There are 2 types of caches, data for [r-   
   fetching program data and instruction -for pre-fetching instructions].   
   There are some tools to evaluate/analyze dcache miss rates, so that   
   programmers can fine tune their applications to lower cache miss.

   Just google for papers or refer to the book "Advanced Compiler design   
   & implementation" by Steven Muchinick.
