Abstract--Today's storage systems place an imperative demand on energy efficiency. A storage system often places single-rotationrate disks into standby mode by stopping them f...
In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power c...
Portable embedded systems require diligence in managing their energy consumption. Thus, power efficient processors coupled with onchip memories (e.g. caches, scratchpads) are the...

Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
The ever-increasing importance of main memory latency and bandwidth is pushing CMPs towards caches with higher capacity and associativity. Associativity is typically improved by in...
