As DRAM access latencies approach a thousand instructionexecution times and on-chip caches grow to multiple megabytes, it is not clear that conventional cache structures continue ...
: The exposed memory hierarchies employed in many network processors (NPs) are expensive in terms of meeting the worst-case processing requirement. Moreover, it is difficult to ef...
Addresses suffering from cache misses typically exhibit repetitive patterns due to the temporal locality inherent in the access stream. However, we observe that the number of inte...
This paper proposes a low-energy instruction-cache architecture, called history-based tag-comparison (HBTC) cache. The HBTC cache attempts to re-use tag-comparison results for avo...
