— General purpose architectures are designed to offer average high performance regardless of the particular application that is being run. Performance and power inefficiencies a...
In this paper, we investigate methods for improving the hit rates in the first level of memory hierarchy. Particularly, we propose victim cache structures to reduce the number of ...
