Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
On-chip coherence directories of today's multi-core systems are not energy efficient. Coherence directories dissipate a significant fraction of their power on unnecessary loo...
