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...
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...
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...
—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-...

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...
