The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
A processor core, previously implemented in a 0.25m Al process, is redesigned for a 0.13m Cu process to create a dualcore processor with 1MB integrated L2 cache, offering an effic...

Caches are organized at a line-size granularity to exploit spatial locality. However, when spatial locality is low, many words in the cache line are not used. Unused words occupy ...

Internet streaming applications are affected by adverse network conditions such as high packet loss rates and long delays. This paper aims at mitigating such effects by leveraging...
On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potential...
