In this paper we propose techniques to dynamically downsize or upsize a cache accompanied by cache set/line shutdown to produce efficient caches. Unlike previous approaches, resiz...
Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
Efficient memory hierarchy design is critical due to the increasing gap between the speed of the processors and the memory. One of the sources of inefficiency in current caches is...
