Software cache-based side channel attacks are a serious new class of threats for computers. Unlike physical side channel attacks that mostly target embedded cryptographic devices,...
The commonly used LRU replacement policy is susceptible to thrashing for memory-intensive workloads that have a working set greater than the available cache size. For such applica...

The ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay necessitate significant changes to cache hierarchy design methodologies. Many recent proposal...
— Modern CPUs operate at GHz frequencies, but the latencies of memory accesses are still relatively large, in the order of hundreds of cycles. Deeper cache hierarchies with large...

The significant speed-gap between processor and memory and the limited chip memory bandwidth make last-level cache performance crucial for future chip multiprocessors. To use the...
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....
