Last-level caches (LLCs) are large structures with significant power requirements. They can be quite inefficient. On average, a cache block in a 2MB LRU-managed LLC is dead 86% of ...

Soft-OLP: Improving Hardware Cache Performance through Software-Controlled Object-Level Partitioning
13 years 11 months ago
—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
