A considerable portion of a chip is dedicated to a cache memory in a modern microprocessor chip. However, some applications may not actively need all the cache storage, especially...
In this paper, we present a dynamically reconfigurable cache architecture using adaptive block allocation policy analyzed by means of simulation. Our main objectives are: to propo...
The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
Cache hierarchies in future many-core processors are expected to grow in size and contribute a large fraction of overall processor power and performance. In this paper, we postula...
