Exponentially rising cooling/packaging costs due to high power density call for architectural and software-level thermal management. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques co...
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...
