This paper proposes and studies a distributed L2 cache management approach through page-level data to cache slice mapping in a future processor chip comprising many cores. L2 cach...
We analyze the effect of thermal constraints on the performance and power of multi-core processors. We propose system-level power and thermal models, and derive expressions for (a...

Actions usually taken to prevent processors from overheating, such as decreasing the frequency or stopping the execution flow, also degrade performance. Multiprocessor systems, h...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is a well-known low power design technique that reduces the processor energy by slowing down the DVS processor and stretching the task execution time...
One of the major challenges of post-PC computing is the need to reduce energy consumption, thereby extending the lifetime of the batteries that power these mobile devices. Memory ...
