Filtering drowsy instruction cache to achieve better efficiency
Leakage power in cache memories represents a sizable fraction of total power consumption, and many techniques have been proposed to reduce it. As a matter of fact, during a fixed ...

Exploiting Fine-Grained Data Parallelism with Chip Multiprocessors and Fast Barriers
We examine the ability of CMPs, due to their lower onchip communication latencies, to exploit data parallelism at inner-loop granularities similar to that commonly targeted by vec...

Exploiting temporal locality in drowsy cache policies
Technology projections indicate that static power will become a major concern in future generations of high-performance microprocessors. Caches represent a significant percentage ...

Controlling leakage power with the replacement policy in slumberous caches
As technology scales down at an exponential rate, leakage power is fast becoming the dominant component of the total power budget. A large share of the total leakage power is diss...

Effective Instruction Prefetching via Fetch Prestaging
As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...

Prefetching-aware cache line turnoff for saving leakage energy
Abstract— While numerous prior studies focused on performance and energy optimizations for caches, their interactions have received much less attention. This paper studies this i...

Customizable Fault Tolerant Caches for Embedded Processors
Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
