Cache-Line Decay: A Mechanism to Reduce Cache Leakage Power
Reducing the supply voltage to reduce dynamic power consumption in CMOS devices, inadvertently will lead to an exponential increase in leakage power dissipation. In this work we ex...

Using Coherence Information and Decay Techniques to Optimize L2 Cache Leakage in CMPs
This paper evaluates several techniques to save leakage in CMP L2 caches by selectively switching off the less used lines. We primarily focus on private snoopy L2 caches. In this c...
