With the ongoing advancements in VLSI technology, the performance of an embedded system is determined to a large extend by the communication of data and instructions. This results...
The goal of cache management is to maximize data reuse. Collaborative caching provides an interface for software to communicate access information to hardware. In theory, it can o...
Multiprocessors based on processors with multiple cores usually include a non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA); even current 2-processor systems with 8 cores exhibit non-uniform...
Buffer caches in operating systems keep active file blocks in memory to reduce disk accesses. Related studies have been focused on how to minimize buffer misses and the caused pe...
Abstract. Electronic embedded systems designers aim at finding a tradeoff between cost and power consumption. As cache memory management has been shown to have a significant imp...
