Reducing the harmful effects of last-level cache polluters with an OS-level, software-only pollute buffer
It is well recognized that LRU cache-line replacement can be ineffective for applications with large working sets or non-localized memory access patterns. Specifically, in lastle...

On-Demand Solution to Minimize I-Cache Leakage Energy with Maintaining Performance
This paper describes a new on-demand wake-up prediction policy for reducing leakage power. The key insight is that branch prediction can be used to selectively wake up only the nee...

Reducing energy of virtual cache synonym lookup using bloom filters
Virtual caches are employed as L1 caches of both high performance and embedded processors to meet their short latency requirements. However, they also introduce the synonym proble...

Drowsy instruction caches: leakage power reduction using dynamic voltage scaling and cache sub-bank prediction
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
