On the Limits of Leakage Power Reduction in Caches
If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...

Drowsy region-based caches: minimizing both dynamic and static power dissipation
Power consumption within the memory hierarchy grows in importance as on-chip data caches occupy increasingly greater die area. Among dynamic power conservation schemes, horizontal...

A reconfigurable cache memory with heterogeneous banks
Abstract— The optimal size of a large on-chip cache can be different for different programs: at some point, the reduction of cache misses achieved when increasing cache size hits...

Drowsy instruction caches: leakage power reduction using dynamic voltage scaling and cache sub-bank prediction
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...

High Read Stability and Low Leakage Cache Memory Cell
- Data in conventional six transistor (6T) static random access memory (SRAM) cells are vulnerable to noise due to the direct access to the data storage nodes through the bit lines...
