Cache Memory Organization to Enhance the Yield of High-Performance VLSI Processors
High-performance VLSI processors make extensive use of on-chip cache memories to sustain the memory bandwidth demands of the CPU. As the amount of chip area devoted to on-chip caches increases, we can expect a substantial portion of the defects/faults to occur in the cache portion of a VLSI processor chip. considerably. This paper studies the tolerance of defects/faults in cache memories. We ar...
متن کاملOn the Yield of VLSI Processors with on-chip CPU Cache
ÐYield enhancement through the acceptance of partially good chips is a well-known technique [1], [2], [3]. In this paper, we derive a yield model for singlechip VLSI processors with partially good on-chip cache. Also, we investigate how the yield enhancement of VLSI processors with on-chip CPU cache relates with the number of acceptable faulty cache blocks, the percentage of the cache area with...
متن کاملA Low-power Cache System for High-performance Processors
In modern processors, a cache system becomes the main contributor of the total power consumption as it greatly improves the performance. Most of the power consumption is caused by its complex architecture, very frequent access and progressively increased size. This thesis presents three techniques in a cache system in order to reduce both power consumption and access latency. We also propose a ...
متن کاملPower - Aware High - Performance Cache Memory
iii Acknowledgements iv Abstract CMOS technology scaling in recent decades has enabled a phenomenal performance improvement in microprocessors by allowing designers to increase the level of integration at higher clock frequencies. Unfortunately, technology scaling has also created unprecedented design challenges, including, but not limited to, the devices' leakage current, the interconnect dela...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Low-Power Cache Memory Architectures
Recent remarkable advances of VLSI technology have been increasing processor speed and DRAM capacity. However, the advances also have introduced a large, growing performance gap between processor and main memory. Cache memories have long been employed on processor chips in order to bridge the processor-memory performance gap. Therefore, researchers have made great efforts to improve the cache p...
