In many-core architectures, memory blocks are commonly assigned to the banks of a NUCA cache by following a physical mapping. This mapping assigns blocks to cache banks in a round-...

Many of the recently proposed techniques to reduce power consumption in caches introduce an additional level of nondeterminism in cache access latency. Due to this additional late...

High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
Increasing cache latencies limit L1 cache sizes. In this paper we investigate restrictive compression techniques for level 1 data cache, to avoid an increase in the cache access l...
— L1 data caches in high-performance processors continue to grow in set associativity. Higher associativity can significantly increase the cache energy consumption. Cache access...
