The idea of changing cache attributes to suit an application has been explored for single programs. As the popularity of reconfigurable softcore systems grows and these systems in...
—Shared cache allocation policies play an important role in determining CMP performance. The simplest policy, LRU, allocates cache implicitly as a consequence of its replacement ...
A fundamental challenge in improving the file system performance is to design effective block replacement algorithms to minimize buffer cache misses. Despite the well-known int...
Many cache management schemes designed for mobile environments are based on invalidation reports (IRs). However, IR-based approach suffers from long query latency and it cannot eff...
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
