We describe cache architecture, intended for prototype-oriented IC platforms, that automatically finds the best cache configuration for a particular application. The cache itself ...
With shrinking feature size of silicon fabrication technology, architects are putting more and more logic into a single die. While one might opt to use these transistors for build...

— Within packet processing systems, lengthy memory accesses greatly reduce performance. To overcome this limitation, network processors utilize many different techniques, e.g., u...
—Caches ideally should have low miss rates and short access times, and should be power efficient at the same time. Such design goals are often contradictory in practice. Recent f...
—Caches are commonly employed to hide the latency gap between memory and the CPU by exploiting locality in memory accesses. The cache performance strongly influences a system’...
