Off-chip memory accesses are a major source of power consumption in embedded processors. In order to reduce the amount of traffic between the processor and the off-chip memory as ...
Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
Using alternative cache indexing/hashing functions is a popular technique to reduce conflict misses by achieving a more uniform cache access distribution across the sets in the ca...

Modern embedded CPU systems rely on a growing number of software features, but this growth increases the memory footprint and increases the need for efficient instruction and data...
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...
