The growing speed gap between memory and processor makes an efficient use of the cache ever more important to reach high performance. One of the most important ways to improve cac...
Main memory accesses continue to be a significant bottleneck for applications whose working sets do not fit in second-level caches. With the trend of greater associativity in seco...
