— Recent studies indicate that a considerable amount of an L2 cache leakage power is dissipated in its peripheral circuits, e.g., decoders, word-lines and I/O drivers. In additio...

In the context of portable embedded systems, reducing energy is one of the prime objectives. Most high-end embedded microprocessors include onchip instruction and data caches, alo...
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...
Various architectural power reduction techniques have been proposed for on-chip caches in the last decade. In this paper, we first show that these power reduction techniques can b...
