An efficient direct mapped instruction cache for application-specific embedded systems
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...

Software Caching using Dynamic Binary Rewriting for Embedded Devices
A software cache implements instruction and data caching entirely in software. Dynamic binary rewriting offers a means to specialize the software cache miss checks at cache miss t...

Enabling Partial Cache Line Prefetching Through Data Compression
Hardware prefetching is a simple and effective technique for hiding cache miss latency and thus improving the overall performance. However, it comes with addition of prefetch buff...

L1 Cache Filtering Through Random Selection of Memory References
Distinguishing transient blocks from frequently used blocks enables servicing references to transient blocks from a small fully-associative auxiliary cache structure. By inserting...
