In the future, advanced integrated circuit processing and packaging technology will allow for several design options for multiprocessor microprocessors. In this paper we consider ...
Application-specific system-on-chip platforms create the opportunity to customize the cache configuration for optimal performance with minimal chip estate. Simulation, in partic...
Recent studies have shown that, in highly associative caches, the performance gap between the Least Recently Used (LRU) and the theoretical optimal replacement algorithms is large,...
Abstract—Caches often employ write-back instead of writethrough, since write-back avoids unnecessary transfers for multiple writes to the same block. For several reasons, however...
The wide-spread use of microprocessor based systems that utilize cache memory to alleviate excessively long DRAM access times introduces a new dimension in the quest to obtain goo...
