In this paper, we note and analyze a key trade-off: as the complexity of caches increases (higher set-associativity, larger block size, and larger overall size), the power consume...

The cache hierarchy of state-of-the-art—especially multicore—microprocessors consumes a significant amount of area and energy. A significant amount of research has been devo...
Inclusive last-level caches (LLCs) waste precious silicon estate due to cross-level replication of cache blocks. As the industry moves toward cache hierarchies with larger inner l...
Next generation tiled microarchitectures are going to be limited by off-chip misses and by on-chip network usage. Furthermore, these platforms will run an heterogeneous mix of ap...
In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), data accesslatency dependson the memory hierarchy organization, the on-chip interconnect (NoC), and the running workload. Reducing data access late...
