/// The general approach taken to estimate the number of cache lines used by the

///    1. Partition memory references that exhibit temporal or spacial reuse
///       into reference groups.
///    2. For each loop L in the a loop nest LN:
///       a. Compute the cost of the reference group
///       b. Compute the loop cost by summing up the reference groups costs
