Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
The growing influence of wire delay in cache design has meant that access latencies to last-level cache banks are no longer constant. Non-Uniform Cache Architectures (NUCAs) have ...
Memory traces record the addresses touched by a program during its execution, enabling many useful investigations for understanding and predicting program performance. But complete...
D-NUCA L2 caches are able to tolerate the increasing wire delay effects due to technology scaling thanks to their banked organization, broadcast line search and data promotion/dem...

This paper proposes and studies a distributed L2 cache management approach through page-level data to cache slice mapping in a future processor chip comprising many cores. L2 cach...
