eXtended Block Cache
This paper describes a new instruction-supply mechanism, called the eXtended Block Cache (XBC). The goal of the XBC is to improve on the Trace Cache (TC) hit rate, while providing...

Sampling Dead Block Prediction for Last-Level Caches
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 ...

Increasing the effectiveness of directory caches by deactivating coherence for private memory blocks
To meet the demand for more powerful high-performance shared-memory servers, multiprocessor systems must incorporate efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols, such as thos...

Bypass and insertion algorithms for exclusive last-level caches
Inclusive last-level caches (LLCs) waste precious silicon estate due to cross-level replication of cache blocks. As the industry moves toward cache hierarchies with larger inner l...
