About Cache Associativity in Low-Cost Shared Memory Multi-Microprocessors

Architecturesparalì eles, bases de données, réseaux et systèmes distribués About cache associativity in low-cost shared memory multi-microprocessors Abstract: In 1993, sizes of on-chip caches on current commercial microprocessors range from 16K bytes to 36 Kbytes. These microprocessors can be directly used in the design of a low cost single-bus shared memory multiprocessors without using any se...

Efficient Way-based Cache Partitioning for Low-Associativity Cache

Cache Partitioning is well-known technique to reduce destructive interference among co-running applications in a shared last-level cache (SLLC). Way-based cache partitioning is a popular partitioning scheme due to its simplicity, but it can dramatically reduce associativity of each partition. Also, most SLLC have limited associativity because the higher associativity causes the higher cache acc...

Highly Efficient LRU Implementations for High Associativity Cache Memory

High associativity with replacement policy as LRU is an optimal solution for cache design when miss rate has to be reduced. But when associativity increases, implementing LRU policy becomes complex. As many advance and demanding technologies like multimedia, multithreading, database and low power devices running on high performance processors in servers and work stations use higher associativit...

Parallel Processing Shared Memory with Snoopy Cache

Implementation of Parallel Processing with snoopy cache is an idea to enhance the performance of computing in real-time. When we consider uniprocessor the execution will take sequential. In uniprocessor we may not face problems. When we come to multi-core processors in Parallel Processing the program is divided into slices and each slice may be independent or dependent. If it is independent the...
