Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT)[1][2] and chip multiprocessors (CMP) processors [3] have emerged as the mainstream computing platform in major market segments, including PC, serv...
