In this paper we describe a new technique, called pipeline spectroscopy, and use it to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogra...

In cache based multiprocessors a protocol must maintain coherence among replicated copies of shared writable data. In delayed consistency protocols the effect of out-going and in-...
This paper explores an application-specific customization technique for the data cache, one of the foremost area/power consuming and performance determining microarchitectural fea...
