This paper presents three techniques for improving the effectiveness of the recently proposed Adaptive Stream Detection (ASD) prefetching mechanism. The ASD prefetcher is a standa...
Due to the rapid growth in the size of the web, web search engines are facing enormous performance challenges. The larger engines in particular have to be able to process tens of ...
—Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a superscalar microprocessor. We develop a mathematical model for three different cache techniques and evaluate its perfor...
While prefetch has proven itself useful for reducing cache misses in multiprocessors, traffic is often increased due to extra unused prefetch data. Prefetching in multiprocessors...
Tag comparison elimination (TCE) is an effective approach to reduce I-cache energy. Current research focuses on finding good tradeoffs between hardware cost and percentage of comp...
