This paper explores an application-specific customization technique for the data cache, one of the foremost area/power consuming and performance determining microarchitectural fea...
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...
—Since many embedded systems execute a predefined set of programs, tuning system components to application programs and data is the approach chosen by many design techniques to o...
On chip memories provide fast and energy efficient storage for code and data in comparison to caches or external memories. We present techniques and algorithms that allow for an au...
Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
