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...
Active power used to be the primary contributor to total power dissipation of CMOS designs, but with the technology scaling, the share of leakage in total power consumption of dig...

Cache affinity between a process and a processor is observed when the processor cache has accumulated some amount of the process state, i.e., data or instructions. Cache affinity i...

Traditional list schedulers order instructions based on an optimistic estimate of the load latency imposed by the hardware and therefore cannot respond to variations in memory lat...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the memory hierarchy performance. In particular, higher cache hit rate can provide significant performance boos...
