A first look at the interplay of code reordering and configurable caches
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...

Applying Decay to Reduce Dynamic Power in Set-Associative Caches
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reduce dynamic power in set-associative caches that leverages on a leakage-saving proposal, namely Cache Decay. We thus open...

Synthesis of customized loop caches for core-based embedded systems
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...

Tuning of Loop Cache Architectures to Programs in Embedded System Design
Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...

Software Caching using Dynamic Binary Rewriting for Embedded Devices
A software cache implements instruction and data caching entirely in software. Dynamic binary rewriting offers a means to specialize the software cache miss checks at cache miss t...
