Dynamic Capacity-Speed Tradeoffs in SMT Processor Caches
Caches are designed to provide the best tradeoff between access speed and capacity for a set of target applications. Unfortunately, different applications, and even different phas...

Branch predictor guided instruction decoding
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...

Reducing Leakage through Filter Cache
We evaluate the leakage reduction for both instruction and data cache in presence of drowsy or decay techniques. We discovered that a filter cache, traditionally used for reducing...

Improving cache locality for thread-level speculation
With the advent of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) remains a promising technique for exploiting this highly multithreaded hardware to improve the perfo...

The Cache Performance and Optimizations of Blocked Algorithms
Blocking is a well-known optimization technique for improving the effectiveness of memory hierarchies. Instead of operating on entire rows or columns of an array, blocked algorith...
