Using Coherence Information and Decay Techniques to Optimize L2 Cache Leakage in CMPs
This paper evaluates several techniques to save leakage in CMP L2 caches by selectively switching off the less used lines. We primarily focus on private snoopy L2 caches. In this c...

Implementation of Fine-Grained Cache Monitoring for Improved SMT Scheduling
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is emerging as an effective microarchitecture model to increase the utilization of resources in modern super-scalar processors. However, co-sched...

Adaptive Cache Memories for SMT Processors
Abstract—Resizable caches can trade-off capacity for access speed to dynamically match the needs of the workload. In Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) cores, the caching needs ca...

WCET-Centric Software-controlled Instruction Caches for Hard Real-Time Systems
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...

The Cache Performance and Optimizations of Blocked Algorithms
Blocking is a well-known optimization technique for improving the effectiveness of memory hierarchies. Instead of operating on entire rows or columns of an array, blocked algorith...
