Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
The large working sets of commercial and scientific workloads stress the L2 caches of Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs). Some CMPs use a shared L2 cache to maximize the on-chip cache c...

The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
The center of gravity of computer architecture is moving toward memory systems. Barring breakthrough microarchitectural techniques to move processor performance to higher levels, ...
