Any way to profile code for cache behavior?

As the title says I'd like to somehow get the cache behavior of my code. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit edition, compiling on Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, compiling C++ code.

I understand that there's Valgrind under Linux, but are there any free alternatives I could use, or methods otherwise?

Try AQTime. I'm pretty sure that some of it options include cache profiling.

VTune will give you pretty detailed cache and pipeline analysis. It's not cheap though. I believe some level/edition of VS (I remember it was "team edition" on XP) had a decent profiler.
