The power consumed by the memory hierarchy of a microprocessor can contribute to as much as 50% of the total microprocessor system power, and is thus a good candidate for optimiza...
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
We introduce a new non-intrusive on-chip cache-tuning hardware module capable of accurately predicting the best configuration of a configurable cache for an executing application....
