Addresses suffering from cache misses typically exhibit repetitive patterns due to the temporal locality inherent in the access stream. However, we observe that the number of inte...
Current trends suggest that the number of memory chips per processor chip will increase at least a factor of ten in seven years. This will make DRAM cost, the space and the power i...
With processor speeds continuing to outpace the memory subsystem, cache missing memory operations continue to become increasingly important to application performance. In response...

The impact of pipeline length on both the power and performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. A theory is presented for a wide range of pow...
High-performance processors use a large set–associative L1 data cache with multiple ports. As clock speeds and size increase such a cache consumes a significant percentage of t...
