Static Pattern Predictor (SPP) Based Low Power Instruction Cache Design
Energy dissipation in cache memories is becoming a major design issue in embedded microprocessors. Predictive filter cache based instruction cache hierarchy is effective in reduci...

Reducing Leakage through Filter Cache
We evaluate the leakage reduction for both instruction and data cache in presence of drowsy or decay techniques. We discovered that a filter cache, traditionally used for reducing...

The Filter Cache: An Energy Efficient Memory Structure
Most modern microprocessors employ one or two levels of on-chip caches in order to improve performance. These caches are typically implemented with static RAM cells and often occu...

Incorporating Pattern Prediction Technique for Energy Efficient Filter Cache Design
: - A filter cache is proposed at a higher level than the L1 (main) cache in the memory hierarchy and is much smaller. The typical size of filter cache is of the order of 512 Bytes...
