This paper evaluates several techniques to save leakage in CMP L2 caches by selectively switching off the less used lines. We primarily focus on private snoopy L2 caches. In this c...

Multi-core architectures introduce a new granularity at which process variations may occur, yielding asymmetry among cores that were designed—and that software expects—to be s...
