Chip multiprocessors designed for streaming applications such as Cell BE offer impressive peak performance but suffer from limited bandwidth to offchip main memory. As the number o...
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...
