Buffer Cache Management for Low Power Consumption

As the computing environment moves to the wireless and handheld system, the power efficiency is getting more important. That is the case especially in the embedded hand-held system and the power consumed by the memory system takes the second largest portion in overall. To save energy consumed in the memory system we can utilize low power mode of SDRAM. In the case of RDRAM, nap mode consumes le...

Power- and time-aware buffer cache management for real-time embedded databases

Due to the explosive increases of data from both the cyber and physical worlds, the demand for database support in embedded systems is increasing. Databases for embedded systems, or embedded databases, are expected to provide timely in-situ data services under various resource constraints, such as limited energy. However, traditional buffer cache management schemes, in which the primary goal is...

Adaptive Power-Aware Cache Management for Mobile Computing Systems

Prefetch can be used to reduce the query latency and improve the bandwidth utilization of cache invalidation schemes. However, prefetch consumes power. In this paper, we propose a power-aware cache management to address this issue. Based on a novel prefetch-access ratio concept, the proposed scheme can dynamically optimize performance or power based on the available resources and performance re...

Reduction in Cache Memory Power Consumption based on Replacement Quantity

Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...
