Compile-time decided instruction cache locking using worst-case execution paths
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...

Reducing the harmful effects of last-level cache polluters with an OS-level, software-only pollute buffer
It is well recognized that LRU cache-line replacement can be ineffective for applications with large working sets or non-localized memory access patterns. Specifically, in lastle...

A novel cache architecture with enhanced performance and security
—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...
