Note that I say "reasonably" contiguous rather than simply "contiguous". From the point of view of a 128K direct mapped cache, the physical address 0 is the same as the physical address 128K. So two side-by-side pages in your virtual address space may wind up being offset 128K and offset 132K in physical memory, but could also easily be offset 128K and offset 4K in physical memory and still retain the same cache performance characteristics. So page-coloring does _not_ have to assign truly contiguous pages of physical memory to contiguous pages of virtual memory, it just needs to make sure it assigns contiguous pages from the point of view of cache performance and operation.

This is what Page coloring does. Instead of assigning _random_ physical pages to virtual addresses, which may result in non-optimal cache performance, Page coloring assigns _reasonably-contiguous_ physical pages to virtual addresses. Thus programs can be written under the assumption that the characteristics of the underlying hardware cache are the same for their virtual address space as they would be if the program had been run directly in a physical address space.

A program normally assumes that two side-by-side pages will be optimally cached. That is, that you can access data objects in both pages without having them blow away each other's cache entry. But this is only true if the physical pages underlying the virtual address space are contiguous (insofar as the cache is concerned).

But in the UNIX(R) world you are dealing with virtual address spaces, not physical address spaces. Any program you write will see the virtual address space given to it. The actual _physical_ pages underlying that virtual address space are not necessarily physically contiguous! In fact, you might have two pages that are side by side in a processes address space which wind up being at offset 0 and offset 128K in _physical_ memory.

Ok, so now onto page coloring: All modern memory caches are what are known as _physical_ caches. They cache physical memory addresses, not virtual memory addresses. This allows the cache to be left alone across a process context switch, which is very important.

It is extremely important... _extremely_ important for most of a processor's memory accesses to be able to come from the L1 cache, because the L1 cache operates at the processor frequency. The moment you have an L1 cache miss and have to go to the L2 cache or to main memory, the processor will stall and potentially sit twiddling its fingers for _hundreds_ of instructions worth of time waiting for a read from main memory to complete. Main memory (the dynamic ram you stuff into a computer) is __slow__, when compared to the speed of a modern processor core.
