Most modern cores perform a highly-associative translation look aside buffer (TLB) lookup on every memory access. These designs often hide the TLB lookup latency by overlapping it...
The goal of cache management is to maximize data reuse. Collaborative caching provides an interface for software to communicate access information to hardware. In theory, it can o...
- Several studies have shown that cache memories account for more than 40% of the total energy consumed in processor-based embedded systems. In microscale technology nodes, active ...

Procedure Positioning is a well known compiler optimization aiming at the improvement of the instruction cache behavior. A contiguous mapping of procedures calling each other freq...
This paper addresses a purely software-based solution to the multiprocessor cache coherence problem by structuring an operating system to provide for the coherence of its own data...
