Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reduce dynamic power in set-associative caches that leverages on a leakage-saving proposal, namely Cache Decay. We thus open...
With the increasing performance gap between the processor and the memory, the importance of caches is increasing for high performance processors. However, with reducing feature si...
: - A filter cache is proposed at a higher level than the L1 (main) cache in the memory hierarchy and is much smaller. The typical size of filter cache is of the order of 512 Bytes...
Current data cache organizations fail to deliver high performance in scalar processors for many vector applications. There are two main reasons for this loss of performance: the u...
