Virtual caches are employed as L1 caches of both high performance and embedded processors to meet their short latency requirements. However, they also introduce the synonym proble...
The design trend of caches in modern processors continues to increase their capacity with higher associativity to cope with large data footprint and take advantage of feature size...
Most modern cores perform a highly-associative translation look aside buffer (TLB) lookup on every memory access. These designs often hide the TLB lookup latency by overlapping it...
As applications tend to grow more complex and use more memory, the demand for cache space increases. Thus embedded processors are inclined to use larger caches. Predicting a miss i...
A Bloom filter is a simple space-efficient randomized data structure for representing a set in order to support membership queries. Although Bloom filters allow false positives, f...
