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...
On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potential...
Caches are very inefficiently utilized because not all the excess data fetched into the cache, to exploit spatial locality, is utilized. We define cache utilization as the percent...
– Maintenance of the cache consistency is a complicated issue in the wireless mobile environment. Caching of frequently accessed data items on the node can reduce the bandwidth r...
: - A filter cache is proposed at a higher level than the L1 (main) cache in the memory hierarchy and is much smaller. The typical size of filter cache is of the order of 512 Bytes...
