With the increasing processing power, the latency of the memory hierarchy becomes the stumbling block of many modern computer architectures. In order to speed-up the calculations, ...
Technology advancements have enabled the integration of large on-die embedded DRAM (eDRAM) caches. eDRAM is significantly denser than traditional SRAMs, but must be periodically r...

Scratch-pad memory is becoming an important fixture in embedded multimedia systems. It is significantly more efficient than the cache, in performance and power, and has the add...
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
