Power consumption within the memory hierarchy grows in importance as on-chip data caches occupy increasingly greater die area. Among dynamic power conservation schemes, horizontal...
— Traditional level-one instruction caches and data caches for embedded systems typically have the same capacities. Configurable caches either shut down a part of the cache to su...
Microprocessor performance has been improved by increasing the capacity of on-chip caches. However, the performance gain comes at the price of increased static energy consumption ...

Today, embedded processors are expected to be able to run complex, algorithm-heavy applications that were originally designed and coded for general-purpose processors. As a result...
