The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
Caching techniques have been an efficient mechanism for mitigating the effects of the processor-memory speed gap. Traditional multi-level SRAM-based cache hierarchies, especially...
Applications from the embedded consumer domain put challenging requirements on SoC infrastructures, i.e. interconnect and memory. Specifically, video applications demand large sto...
The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past de...
As mobile phones become increasingly multifunctional, the number and size of applications installed in phones are rapidly increasing. Consequently, mobile phones require more hard...
