This paper studies the impact of L2 cache sharing on threads that simultaneously share the cache, on a Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) architecture. Cache sharing impacts threads non-u...

As CMP platforms are widely adopted, more and more cores are integrated on to the die. To reduce the off-chip memory access, the last level cache is usually organized as a distribu...
As the gap between processor and memory performance widens, careful analyses and optimizations of cache memory behavior become increasingly important. While analysis of regular lo...
In this paper, we propose a technique that uses an additional mini cache, the L0-Cache, located between the instruction cache I-Cache and the CPU core. This mechanism can provid...

— As CMPs are emerging as the dominant architecture for a wide range of platforms (from embedded systems and game consoles, to PCs, and to servers) the need to manage on-chip res...
