On-chip L1 and L2 caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. In deep sub-micron technology, the subthreshold leakage power is becoming...
— This paper evaluates various instruction- and data-cache organizations in terms of performance, power, energy and area on a suitably selected biomedical benchmark suite. The be...
