—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
In current processors, the cache controller, which contains the cache directory and other logic such as tag comparators, is active for each instruction fetch and is responsible fo...
As processor speeds increase and memory latency becomes more critical, intelligent design and management of secondary caches becomes increasingly important. The efficiency of curr...

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...
Abstract—In order to harness the full compute power of manycore processors, future designs must focus on effective utilization of on-chip cache and bandwidth resources. In this p...
