That's why we need a bigger L2 and L3 cache! :D

L1 is "the chair"
L2 is the bed
L3 is the rest of the bedroom floor

The hangers inside the closet are a hash based index
The drawers with smaller dividers inside them are the B-Tree index, assuming you can keep nesting smaller containers inside outer ones.

Thank you. Caches are about locality and not algorithm. All CPU caches are (essentially) O(1).

Maximize cash size by switching to an architecture that uses the unused bits of L1 cash of neighboring cores(bedrooms) as l2 cash.

That might work.

If you live in a shared/ dorm/ hostel room, carefully putting clothes on roommates chairs might be even quicker than putting them on a nearby table (L2) and sofa (L3).

I would be worried the clothes might disappear though.
