Integrating replacement policies in StorM: an extensible approach

Classic cache replacement policies assume that miss costs are uniform. However, the correlation between miss rate and cache performance is not as straightforward as it used to be. Ultimately, the true cost measure of a miss should be the penalty, i.e. ...

Recent advances in computer processor design have led to the introduction of sub-blocking to cache architectures. Sub-block caches reduce the tag area and power overhead in caches without reducing the effective cache size by using fewer tags to index ...

Instruction cache replacement policies and organizations are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical analyses are based on a new model for cache referencesthe loop model. First the loop model is used to study replacement policies and ...
