Drowsy instruction caches: leakage power reduction using dynamic voltage scaling and cache sub-bank prediction
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...

Design of a Predictive Filter Cache for Energy Savings in High Performance Processor Architectures
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...

Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Efficient code caching to improve performance and energy consumption for java applications
Java applications rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers or adaptive compilers to generate and optimize binary code at runtime to boost performance. In conventional Java Virtual Mac...
