The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...

A technical paper titled “Improving the Representativeness of Simulation Intervals for the Cache Memory System” was published by researchers at Complutense University of Madrid, imec, and KU Leuven.

Implemented MSI, MESI and MOESI Cache Coherence protocols in C++ and analyzed the cache performance through variation of different cache configurations. Devised a modified MOESI protocol to reduce the ...

• Designed a generic Cache simulator module and modeled L1, L2 caches augmented with a Victim Cache. • Implemented using C++ and evaluated with SPEC address traces for gcc, perl, vortex, compress and ...

Chip Multi-Processors (CMPs) are the next attractive point in the design space of future high performance processors. There is a growing need for simulation methodologies to determine the memory ...

Though computers store all data to be manipulated off-chip in main memory (aka RAM), data required regularly by the processor is also temporarily stored in a die-stacked DRAM (dynamic random access ...
