The widening gap between CPU and memory speed has made caches an integral feature of modern highperformance processors. The high degree of configurability of cache memory can requ...

Abstract This paper introduces a caching technique based on a volumetric representation that captures low-frequency indirect illumination. This structure is intended for efficient ...
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...
On-chip coherence directories of today's multi-core systems are not energy efficient. Coherence directories dissipate a significant fraction of their power on unnecessary loo...

Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
