Using a serial cache for energy efficient instruction fetching
Computer Science Department, University of California, Los Angeles Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of California, San Diego Abstract The design of a high performance fetch architecture can be challenging due to poor interconnect scaling and energy concerns. Way prediction has been presented as one means of scaling the fetch engine to shorter cycle times, while providi...

متن کاملReducing Instruction Cache Energy Using Gated
The power dissipated by the level-1 Instruction cache is often a considerable part of the total power dissipated by the entire microprocessor. In this thesis, we focuses on reducing the power consumption of the I-cache by using an in-cache instruction compression technique that uses gated wordlines to reduce the number of bitline swings. First, we develop a cache power consumption model to esti...
متن کاملInstruction Fetching Mechanisms for Superscalar Microprocessors
Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a su perscalar microprocessor We develop a mathematical model for three di erent cache techniques and evaluate its performance both in theory and in simulation using the SPEC suite of benchmarks In all the tech niques the fetching performance is dramatically lower than ideal expec tations To help remedy the situation we also evaluate its pe...
متن کاملCache Pre-fetching for Image Processing
This paper analyzes hardware pre-fetching techniques for caching images. Performances are evaluated with respect to different classes of image processing algorithms, namely raster-scan and propagative algorithms, common in computer vision and multimedia applications. Sequential pre-fetching and adaptive pre-fetching are compared with the proposed adaptive local pre-fetching that results to be m...
