Scalable cache memory design for large-scale SMT architectures
The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past dec...

Location cache: a low-power L2 cache system
While set-associative caches incur fewer misses than directmapped caches, they typically have slower hit times and higher power consumption, when multiple tag and data banks are p...

Procedure placement using temporal-ordering information: dealing with code size expansion
Abstract— In a direct-mapped instruction cache, all instructions that have the same memory address modulo the cache size, share a common and unique cache slot. Instruction cache ...

Performance evaluation of cache replacement policies for the SPEC CPU2000 benchmark suite
Replacement policy, one of the key factors determining the effectiveness of a cache, becomes even more important with latest technological trends toward highly associative caches....

Caching with 'Good Enough' Currency, Consistency, and Completeness
SQL extensions that allow queries to explicitly specify data quality requirements in terms of currency and consistency were proposed in an earlier paper. This paper develops a dat...

A New Diagonal Blocking Format and Model of Cache Behavior for Sparse Matrices
Algorithms for the sparse matrix-vector multiplication (shortly SpM×V ) are important building blocks in solvers of sparse systems of linear equations. Due to matrix sparsity, the...

A NUCA substrate for flexible CMP cache sharing
We propose an organization for the on-chip memory system of a chip multiprocessor, in which 16 processors share a 16MB pool of 256 L2 cache banks. The L2 cache is organized as a n...
