Interconnects play an increasingly important role in determining the power and performance
characteristics of modern processors. an enhanced version of the popular CACTI tool
primarily focuses on interconnect design for large scalable caches. the new version can help
evaluate novel interconnection networks for cache access and accurately estimate the
delay, power, and area of large caches with uniform and nonuniform access times.
