Strongly Competitive Algorithms for Caching with Pipelined Prefetching
Suppose that a program makes a sequence of m accesses (references) to data blocks, the cache can hold k < m blocks, an access to a block in the cache incurs one time unit, and ...

Instruction Cache Energy Saving Through Compiler Way-Placement
Fetching instructions from a set-associative cache in an embedded processor can consume a large amount of energy due to the tag checks performed. Recent proposals to address this ...

Using Branch Prediction Information for Near-Optimal I-Cache Leakage
This paper describes a new on-demand wakeup prediction policy for instruction cache leakage control that achieves better leakage savings than prior policies, and avoids the perform...

Speculative DMA for architecturally visible storage in instruction set extensions
Instruction set extensions (ISEs) can accelerate embedded processor performance. Many algorithms for ISE generation have shown good potential; some of them have recently been expa...
