Tuning of Loop Cache Architectures to Programs in Embedded System Design
Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...

DRG-cache: a data retention gated-ground cache for low power
In this paper we propose a novel integrated circuit and architectural level technique to reduce leakage power consumption in high performance cache memories using single Vt (trans...

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

L1 Cache Filtering Through Random Selection of Memory References
Distinguishing transient blocks from frequently used blocks enables servicing references to transient blocks from a small fully-associative auxiliary cache structure. By inserting...

Fast configurable-cache tuning with a unified second-level cache
Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
