Parallel programs that modify shared data in a cachecoherent multiprocessor with a write-invalidate coherence protocol create ownership overhead in the form of ownership acquisiti...
— Effective address calculation for load and store instructions needs to compete for ALU with other instructions and hence extra latencies might be incurred to data cache accesse...
Abstract. Shared last level cache is crucial to performance. However, multithread program model incurs serious contention in shared cache. In this paper, to reduce average cache ac...
The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
Scratchpads have been widely proposed as an alternative to caches for embedded systems. Advantages of scratchpads include reduced energy consumption in comparison to a cache and a...
