The cache hierarchy's large contribution to total microprocessor system power makes caches a good optimization candidate. To facilitate a fast design-time cache optimization process, we propose a single-pass trace-driven cache simulation methodology—T-...
In this paper, we present a novel directory architecture that can dynamically allocate a directory entry for a cache block on demand at runtime only when the block is shared by more than a single core. Thus, we do not maintain coherence for private ...
Optimizing compilers implement program transformation strategies aimed at reducing data movement to or from main memory by exploiting the data-cache hierarchy. However, instead of attempting to minimize the number of cache misses, very approximate cost ...
