Most modern microprocessors employ one or two levels of on-chip caches in order to improve performance. These caches are typically implemented with static RAM cells and often occu...

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...
Filter cache(FC) is effective in achieving energy saving at the expense of some performance degradation. The energy savings, here, comes from repeated execution of tiny loops from...
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
