The RAMpage hierarchy moves main memory up a level to replace the lowest-level cache by an equivalent-sized SRAM main memory, with a TLB caching page translations for that main mem...
The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past dec...
Spin-Transfer Torque RAM (STT-RAM) is an emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technology that has the potential to replace the conventional on-chip SRAM caches for designing a more ...

Cache memories currently treat all blocks as if they were equally important, but this assumption of equally importance is not always valid. For instance, not all blocks deserve to...
Abstract-- The power consumption of microprocessors has been increasing in step with the complexity of each progressive generation. In general purpose processors, this is primarily...
