This paper presents Cooperative Cache Partitioning (CCP) to allocate cache resources among threads concurrently running on CMPs. Unlike cache partitioning schemes that use a singl...
Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...

Cache locality optimization is an efficient way for reducing the idle time of modern processors in waiting for needed data. This kind of optimization can be achieved either on the...
This paper presents a new technique for efficient usage of small trace caches. A trace cache can significantly increase the performance of wide out-oforder processors, but to be e...
