In the recent years, power consumption has become increasingly an important design concern as silicon area and performance in modern computer systems design. Several factors have ...
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...
In this paper we compare the performance of area equivalent small, medium, and large-scale multithreaded chip multiprocessors (CMTs) using throughput-oriented applications. We use...
—Aggressive technology scaling to 45nm and below introduces serious reliability challenges to the design of microprocessors. Since a large fraction of chip area is devoted to on-...

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...
