Susan Eggers at Univ. Wash. has done some work in this area. She gave
a talk at Harvard on it last year. I don't if there is a paper or
not. Her work was in a compiler for parallel thread-based C language
dialects.


She specifically showed examples where splitting arrays of structs into
structs of arrays solved false-sharing problems.
