Power and performance of read-write aware Hybrid Caches with non-volatile memories
—Caches made of non-volatile memory technologies, such as Magnetic RAM (MRAM) and Phase-change RAM (PRAM), offer dramatically different power-performance characteristics when com...

Dynamic cache clustering for chip multiprocessors
This paper proposes DCC (Dynamic Cache Clustering), a novel distributed cache management scheme for large-scale chip multiprocessors. Using DCC, a per-core cache cluster is compri...

Flexible cache error protection using an ECC FIFO
We present ECC FIFO, a mechanism enabling two-tiered last-level cache error protection using an arbitrarily strong tier-2 code without increasing on-chip storage. Instead of addin...

Enabling software management for multicore caches with a lightweight hardware support
The management of shared caches in multicore processors is a critical and challenging task. Many hardware and OS-based methods have been proposed. However, they may be hardly adop...

Cache contention and application performance prediction for multi-core systems
—The ongoing move to chip multiprocessors (CMPs) permits greater sharing of last-level cache by processor cores but this sharing aggravates the cache contention problem, potentia...
