Compiler Managed Dynamic Instruction Placement in a Low-Power Code Cache
Modern embedded microprocessors use low power on-chip memories called scratch-pad memories to store frequently executed instructions and data. Unlike traditional caches, scratch-p...

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...

Balanced Cache: Reducing Conflict Misses of Direct-Mapped Caches
Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...

Software-Controlled Operand-Gating
Operand gating is a technique for improving processor energy efficiency by gating off sections of the data path that are unneeded by short-precision (narrow) operands. A method fo...

Explicit Communication and Synchronization in SARC
SARC merges cache controller and network interface functions by relying on a single hardware primitive: each access checks the tag and the state of the addressed line for possible...
