The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high acce...
This paper introduces Way Stealing, a simple architectural modification to a cache-based processor to increase data bandwidth to and from application-specific Instruction Set Exte...

Complexity is one of the most important problems facing microarchitects. It is exacerbated by the application of optimizations, by scaling to higher issue widths and, in general, ...
In this paper we propose a design technique to pipeline cache memories for high bandwidth applications. With the scaling of technology cache access latencies are multiple clock cy...
