OS-aware tuning: improving instruction cache energy efficiency on system workloads
Low power has been considered as an important issue in instruction cache (I-cache) designs. Several studies have shown that the I-cache can be tuned to reduce power. These techniq...

Light NUCA: A proposal for bridging the inter-cache latency gap
Abstract—To deal with the “memory wall” problem, microprocessors include large secondary on-chip caches. But as these caches enlarge, they originate a new latency gap between...

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...
