Near-Optimal Precharging in High-Performance Nanoscale CMOS Caches
High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...

Snug set-associative caches: reducing leakage power while improving performance
As transistors keep shrinking and on-chip data caches keep growing, static power dissipation due to leakage of caches takes an increasing fraction of total power in processors. Se...
