This paper proposes and studies a hardware-based adaptive controlled migration strategy for managing distributed L2 caches in chip multiprocessors. Building on an area-efficient sh...
Abstract. Technological advances and increasingly complex and dynamic application behavior argue for revisiting mechanisms that adapt logical cache block size to application charac...

Cache blocks often exhibit a small number of uses during their life time in the last-level cache. Past research has exploited this property in two different ways. First, replacem...
High associativity is important for level-two cache designs [9]. Implementing CAM-based Highly Associative Caches (CAM-HAC), however, is both costly in hardware and exhibits poor s...
