Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a first class optimization parameter for modern systems. Caches are critical to the overall performance and thus, modern processors (both hig...
Microprocessor performance has been improved by increasing the capacity of on-chip caches. However, the performance gain comes at the price of increased static energy consumption ...
