Leakage power reduction in cache memories continues to be a critical area of research because of the promise of a significant pay-off. Various techniques have been developed so fa...
On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potential...
Excessive power consumption is widely considered as a major impediment to designing future microprocessors. With the continued scaling down of threshold voltages, the power consum...
