In this paper, we propose a technique that uses an additional mini cache, the L0-Cache, located between the instruction cache I-Cache and the CPU core. This mechanism can provid...

Power dissipation is a major concern not only for portable systems, but also for high-performance systems. In the past, energy consumption and processor heating was reduced mainly...
High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
Virtual caches are employed as L1 caches of both high performance and embedded processors to meet their short latency requirements. However, they also introduce the synonym proble...
Increasing power dissipation has become a major constraint for future performance gains in the design of microprocessors. In this paper, we present the circuit design of an issue ...
