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...
Abstract. Power consumption is becoming one of the most important constraints for microprocessor design in nanometer-scale technologies. Especially, as the transistor supply voltag...
We evaluate the leakage reduction for both instruction and data cache in presence of drowsy or decay techniques. We discovered that a filter cache, traditionally used for reducing...
Code generation for embedded processors creates opportunities for several performance optimizations not applicable for traditional compilers. We present techniques for improving d...

Low power has been considered as an important issue in instruction cache (I-cache) designs. Several studies have shown that the I-cache can be tuned to reduce power. These techniq...
