Horizontally partitioned data caches are a popular architectural feature in which the processor maintains two or more data caches at the same level of hierarchy. Horizontally part...
: Static energy dissipation in cache memories will constitute an increasingly larger portion of total microprocessor energy dissipation due to nanoscale technology characteristics ...
— Though tag bits in the data caches are vulnerable to transient errors, few effort has been made to reduce their vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to exploit prevalent sa...
A new architectural technique to reduce power dissipation in data caches is proposed. In multimedia applications, a major portion of data cache accesses hit in the same cache set ...
Caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures to hide, in part, the increasing gap between processor speed and memory access times. While the effect of caches on timi...
One of the major issues faced by the semiconductor industry today is that of reducing chip yields. As the process technologies have scaled to smaller feature sizes, chip yields ha...
The recent design shift towards multicore processors has spawned a significant amount of research in the area of program parallelization. The future abundance of cores on a singl...
