Packet forwarding is a memory-intensive application requiring multiple accesses through a trie structure. The efficiency of a cache for this application critically depends on the ...
Virtual caches are employed as L1 caches of both high performance and embedded processors to meet their short latency requirements. However, they also introduce the synonym proble...
Power consumption and DRAM latencies are serious concerns in modern chip-multiprocessor (CMP or multi-core) based compute systems. The management of the DRAM row buffer can signif...
