Power reduction of multiple disks using dynamic cache resizing and speed control
This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...

Cancellation of loads that return zero using zero-value caches
The speed gap between processor and memory continues to limit performance. To address this problem, we explore the potential of eliminating Zero Loads—loads accessing memory loc...

Energy reduction for STT-RAM using early write termination
The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high acce...

A Self-Tuning Configurable Cache
The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...

A reconfigurable cache memory with heterogeneous banks
Abstract— The optimal size of a large on-chip cache can be different for different programs: at some point, the reduction of cache misses achieved when increasing cache size hits...
