Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...

It is widely accepted that the disproportionate scaling of transistor and conventional on-chip interconnect performance presents a major barrier to future high performance systems...
A new architectural technique to reduce power dissipation in data caches is proposed. In multimedia applications, a major portion of data cache accesses hit in the same cache set ...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
In current processors, the cache controller, which contains the cache directory and other logic such as tag comparators, is active for each instruction fetch and is responsible fo...
