Previous research has shown that the SPEC benchmarks achieve low miss ratios in relatively small instruction caches. This paper presents evidence that current software-development...

This paper explores the correlation of instruction counts and cache misses to runtime performance for a large family of divide and conquer algorithms to compute the Walsh–Hadama...
In this paper, we present a shared instruction and data memory controller for the On-Chip Memory (OCM) bus of the PowerPC embedded in the Virtex-4 chip. The traditional design of ...
We introduce a new non-intrusive on-chip cache-tuning hardware module capable of accurately predicting the best configuration of a configurable cache for an executing application....

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...
