— As CMPs are emerging as the dominant architecture for a wide range of platforms (from embedded systems and game consoles, to PCs, and to servers) the need to manage on-chip res...
In the near future, semiconductor technology will allow the integration of multiple processors on a chip or multichipmodule (MCM). In this paper we investigate the architecture an...
Abstract—As Chip-Multiprocessor systems (CMP) have become the predominant topology for leading microprocessors, critical components of the system are now integrated on a single c...

We propose an organization for the on-chip memory system of a chip multiprocessor, in which 16 processors share a 16MB pool of 256 L2 cache banks. The L2 cache is organized as a n...

Caching techniques have been an efficient mechanism for mitigating the effects of the processor-memory speed gap. Traditional multi-level SRAM-based cache hierarchies, especially...
