Low energy consumption is becoming the primary design consideration for battery-operated and portable embedded systems, such as personal digital assistants, digital still and movi...
Modern embedded processors use data caches with higher and higher degrees of associativity in order to increase performance. A set–associative data cache consumes a significant...

We present Adaptive Stream Detection, a simple technique for modulating the aggressiveness of a stream prefetcher to match a workload’s observed spatial locality. We use this co...
