The determinism of instruction cache performance can be considered a major problem in multi-media devices which hope to maximise their quality of service. If instructions are evic...
Cache memories are mandatory to bridge the growing gap between CPU speed and main memory access time. Standard cache organizations improve the average execution time but are diffi...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...
— In this study we introduce NetBench, a benchmarking suite for network processors. NetBench contains a total of 9 applications that are representative of commercial applications...
