A significant part of future microprocessor real estate will be dedicated to L2 or L3 caches. These on-chip caches will heavily impact processor performance, power dissipation, a...
Lowering power consumption in microprocessors, whether used in portables or not, has now become one of the most critical design concerns. On-chip cache memories tend to occupy dom...

Designing temperature-aware microarchitectures for microprocessors at new technologies is becoming a critical requirement due to the exponentially increasing on-chip power density...
This paper shows that even very small data caches, when split to serve data streams exhibiting temporal and spatial localities, can improve performance of embedded applications wit...
