Modern computers heavily rely on caches as one of the means to achieve higher
performance. As a result, cache management has been the topic of extensive research …

Power consumption in current high-performance chip multiprocessors (CMPs) has become
a major design concern that aggravates with the current trend of increasing the core count. A …

Quality of control is a critical concern in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which are comprised
of multiple intercommunicating control applications. Due to complex timing behaviour of …

Hardware caches are widely employed in GPGPUs to achieve higher performance and
energy efficiency. Incorporating hardware caches in GPGPUs, however, does not …

The cache system dissipates a significant amount of energy compared to the other memory
components. This will be intensified if a cache is designed with a set-associative structure to …

The cache memory has a direct effect on the performance of a computer system. Instructions
and data are fetched from a fast cache instead of a slow memory to save hundreds of cycles …

Instruction information generation circuitry generates instruction information. Instruction
information storage circuitry comprises a plurality of elements having physical sub-elements …

As the performance and energy efficiency requirement of GPGPUs have risen, memory
management techniques of GPGPUs have improved to meet the requirements by employing …

Reconfigurable caches offer an intriguing opportunity to tailor cache behavior to applications
for better run-times and energy consumptions. While one may adapt structural cache …

Traditional cache design uses a consolidated block of memory address bits to index a cache
set, equivalent to the use of modulo functions. While this module-based map** scheme is …
