An efficient direct mapped instruction cache for application-specific embedded systems
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...

Intermediately executed code is the key to find refactorings that improve temporal data locality
The growing speed gap between memory and processor makes an efficient use of the cache ever more important to reach high performance. One of the most important ways to improve cac...

Controlling leakage power with the replacement policy in slumberous caches
As technology scales down at an exponential rate, leakage power is fast becoming the dominant component of the total power budget. A large share of the total leakage power is diss...

Deconstructing new cache designs for thwarting software cache-based side channel attacks
Software cache-based side channel attacks present a serious threat to computer systems. Previously proposed countermeasures were either too costly for practical use or only effect...

TaP: Table-based Prefetching for Storage Caches
TaP is a storage cache sequential prefetching and caching technique to improve the read-ahead cache hit rate and system response time. A unique feature of TaP is the use of a tabl...

A fault tolerant cache architecture for sub 500mV operation: resizable data composer cache (RDC-cache)
In this paper we introduce Resizable Data Composer-Cache (RDC-Cache). This novel cache architecture operates correctly at sub 500 mV in 65 nm technology tolerating large number of...

Tile Size Selection Using Cache Organization and Data Layout
When dense matrix computations are too large to fit in cache, previous research proposes tiling to reduce or eliminate capacity misses. This paper presents a new algorithm for ch...
