Using Aggressor Thread Information to Improve Shared Cache Management for CMPs
—Shared cache allocation policies play an important role in determining CMP performance. The simplest policy, LRU, allocates cache implicitly as a consequence of its replacement ...

Reducing energy and delay using efficient victim caches
In this paper, we investigate methods for improving the hit rates in the first level of memory hierarchy. Particularly, we propose victim cache structures to reduce the number of ...
