A starter for that (except for latency) might be the memberf benchmark
(developped by two colleagues of mine):
http://www.cs.inf.ethz.ch/stricker/CoPs/ECT/

It captures two aspects of the memory hierarchy, its behavior with
temporal locality by varying the working set size and the spatial
locality by varying the access pattern.
