Saving Cash by Using Less Cache
نویسندگان
چکیده
Everyone loves a large caching tier in their multitier cloud-based web service because it both alleviates database load and provides lower request latencies. Even when load drops severely, administrators are reluctant to scale down their caching tier. This paper makes the case that (i) scaling down the caching tier is viable with respect to performance, and (ii) the savings are potentially huge; e.g., a 4x drop in load can result in 90% savings in the caching tier size.

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...

متن کاملMANAGER: A Multicore Shared Cache Energy Saving Technique for QoS Systems
Last level caches (LLCs) contribute significantly to processor power consumption. Saving LLC energy in multicore QoS systems is especially challenging, since aggressive energy saving techniques may lead to failure in providing QoS. We present MANAGER, a multicore shared cache energy saving technique for quality-of-service systems. Using dynamic profiling, MANAGER periodically predicts cache acc...
متن کاملUsing Branch Prediction Information for Near-Optimal I-Cache Leakage Reduction
This paper describes a new on-demand wakeup prediction policy for instruction cache leakage control that achieves better leakage savings than prior policies, and avoids the performance overheads of prior policies. The proposed policy reduces leakage energy by more than 92% with only less than 0.3% performance overhead on average, whereas prior policies were either prone to severe performance ov...
متن کاملCache Design for Transcoding Proxy Caching
As audio and video applications have proliferated on the Internet, transcoding proxy caching is attracting an increasing amount of attention, especially in the environment of mobile appliances. Since cache replacement and consistency algorithms are two factors that play a central role in the functionality of transcoding proxy caching, it is of particular practical necessity to involve them into...
