Many embedded processors use highly associative data caches implemented using a CAM-based tag search. When high-associativity is desirable, CAM designs can offer performance advan...
This paper proposes a low-energy solution for CAMbased highly associative I-caches using a segmented wordline and a predictor-based instruction fetch mechanism. Not all instructio...
—Reducing energy consumption is an important issue for battery powered embedded computing systems. Content Addressable Memory (CAM)-based Highly-Associative Caches (HAC) are wide...
Modern embedded processors use data caches with higher and higher degrees of associativity in order to increase performance. A set–associative data cache consumes a significant...

Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...
