1. A method comprising:
partitioning a constant memory according to a segment size;
determining, based at least on the partitioning, at least a first segment and a second segment, the first segment and the second segment each having a size corresponding to the segment size;
generating data representing a first identifier associated with the first segment and a second identifier associated with the second segment; and
storing, based at least on the first identifier, data associated with the first segment of the constant memory in a cache memory corresponding to one or more processing units.
