The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high acce...
The center of gravity of computer architecture is moving toward memory systems. Barring breakthrough microarchitectural techniques to move processor performance to higher levels, ...

Abstract. Performance of the on-chip cache is critical for processor. The multithread program model usually employed by on-chip many-core architectures may have effects on cache ac...
This research explores any potential for an on-chip cache compression which can reduce not only cache miss ratio but also miss penalty, if main memory is also managed in compresse...
Abstract— The optimal size of a large on-chip cache can be different for different programs: at some point, the reduction of cache misses achieved when increasing cache size hits...
