Limiting the number of dirty cache lines
Abstract—Caches often employ write-back instead of writethrough, since write-back avoids unnecessary transfers for multiple writes to the same block. For several reasons, however...

Memory mapped ECC: low-cost error protection for last level caches
This paper presents a novel technique, Memory Mapped ECC, which reduces the cost of providing error correction for SRAM caches. It is important to limit such overheads as processo...

On-Chip Cache Device Scaling Limits and Effective Fault Repair Techniques in Future Nanoscale Technology
In this study, we investigate different cache fault tolerance techniques to determine which will be most effective when on-chip memory cell defect probabilities exceed those of cu...

Maximizing Spare Utilization by Virtually Reorganizing Faulty Cache Lines
—Aggressive technology scaling to 45nm and below introduces serious reliability challenges to the design of microprocessors. Since a large fraction of chip area is devoted to on-...

Adaptive Spill-Receive for robust high-performance caching in CMPs
In a Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) with private caches, the last level cache is statically partitioned between all the cores. This prevents such CMPs from sharing cache capacity in r...
