The increasing use of microprocessor cores in embedded systems as well as mobile and portable devices creates an opportunity for customizing the cache subsystem for improved perfo...
Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
The file-bundle caching problem arises frequently in scientific applications where jobs process several files concurrently. Consider a host system in a data-grid that maintains...
