Recently, under a fixed power budget, asymmetric multiprocessors (AMP) have been proposed to improve the performance of multi-threaded applications compared to symmetric multiproc...
This paper presents a new and simple prefetching mechanism to improve the memory performance of multimedia applications. This method adapts the memory access mechanism to the acce...
— Modern CPUs operate at GHz frequencies, but the latencies of memory accesses are still relatively large, in the order of hundreds of cycles. Deeper cache hierarchies with large...

Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...

Abstract--Today's storage systems place an imperative demand on energy efficiency. A storage system often places single-rotationrate disks into standby mode by stopping them f...
