Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
Applications in computer networks often require high throughput access to large data structures for lookup and classification. While advanced algorithms exist to speed these search...
Aggressive hardware prefetching often significantly increases energy consumption in the memory system. Experiments show that a major fraction of prefetching related energy degrad...
Many network security applications require large virus signature sets to be maintained, retrieved, and compared against the network streams. Software applications frequently fail ...
