The auction: optimizing banks usage in Non-Uniform Cache Architectures
The growing influence of wire delay in cache design has meant that access latencies to last-level cache banks are no longer constant. Non-Uniform Cache Architectures (NUCAs) have ...

Pseudo-LIFO: the foundation of a new family of replacement policies for last-level caches
Cache blocks often exhibit a small number of uses during their life time in the last-level cache. Past research has exploited this property in two different ways. First, replacem...
