The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
In the past decade. there has been much literature describing various cache organizatrons that exploit general programming idiosyncrasies to obtain maxrmum hit rate (the probabili...
We propose a novel replacement algorithm, called InterReference Gap Distribution Replacement (IGDR), for setassociative secondary caches of processors. IGDR attaches a weight to e...
: - A filter cache is proposed at a higher level than the L1 (main) cache in the memory hierarchy and is much smaller. The typical size of filter cache is of the order of 512 Bytes...
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...
