To generate a general-purpose cache warmup, use a SMP protocol like 
MOSI_SMP_bcast and configure it with big 16MB or so caches.
Then you can use that warmup file for other protocols/configurations.

Also make sure you checkpoint your workload after saving the caches.  Then 
use that checkpoint for actual runs.
