Dynamic Zero Compression reduces the energy required for cache accesses by only writing and reading a single bit for every zero-valued byte. This energy-conscious compression is i...
Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a first class optimization parameter for modern systems. Caches are critical to the overall performance and thus, modern processors (both hig...
Microprocessor performance has been improved by increasing the capacity of on-chip caches. However, the performance gain comes at the price of increased static energy consumption ...

Abstract. Data cache compression is actively studied as a venue to make better use of onchip transistors, increase apparent capacity of caches, and hide the long memory latencies. ...
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
