Beyond Basic Region Caching: Specializing Cache Structures for High Performance and Energy Conservation

چکیده
Increasingly tight energy design goals require processor architects to rethink the organizational structure of microarchitectural resources. In this paper, we examine a new multilateral cache organization that replaces a conventional data cache with a set of smaller region caches that significantly reduces energy consumption with little performance impact. This is achieved by tailoring the cache resources to the specific reference characteristics of each applica-

Specializing Cache Structures for High Performance and Energy Conservation in Embedded Systems
Increasingly tight energy design goals require processor architects to rethink the organizational structure of microarchitectural resources. We examine a new multilateral cache organization, replacing a conventional data cache with a set of smaller region caches that significantly reduces energy consumption with little performance impact. This is achieved by tailoring the cache resources to the...
متن کاملImproving Performance and Energy Consumption in Region-based Caching Architectures
Embedded systems must simultaneously deliver high performance and low energy consumption. Meeting these goals requires customized designs that fit the requirements of the targeted applications. This philosophy of tailoring the implementation to the domain applies to all subsystems in the embedded architecture. For the memory system, which is a key performance bottleneck and a significant source...
متن کاملImprove Replica Placement in Content Distribution Networks with Hybrid Technique
The increased using of the Internet and its accelerated growth leads to reduced network bandwidth and the capacity of servers; therefore, the quality of Internet services is unacceptable for users while the efficient and effective delivery of content on the web has an important role to play in improving performance. Content distribution networks were introduced to address this issue. Replicatin...
متن کاملApplication-Specific Memory Management for Embedded Systems
We propose a methodology to improve the performance of embedded processors running data-intensive applications by allowing embedded software to manage on-chip memory on an application-specific or task-specific basis. We provide this management ability with a novel hardware mechanism, column caching. Column caching provides software with the ability to dynamically partition the cache. Data can b...
متن کاملModeling and analysis of an expiration-based hierarchical caching system
Caching is an important means to scale up the growth of the Internet. Weak consistency is a major approach used in Web caching and has been deployed in various forms. This paper investigates some properties and performance issues of an expiration-based caching system. We focus on a hierarchical caching system based on the Time-To-Live (TTL) expiration mechanism and present a basic model for suc...
