To support massive parallel threads context, GPGPUs use a huge register file. Due to their size, register file is one of the most power hungry logic in GPGPU. However, the current trends indicate that GPGPU register file size will continue to get even bigger as the demand for higher single instruction multiple thread (SIMT) parallelism increases, particularly in high performance application dom...

The multi-banked register file (MBRF) is an effective approach to reduce the complexity for a monolithic register file. In order to apply the multi-banked register file to a low-power microprocessor, we have to design a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) approach for the MBRF to reduce its power consumption. However, when the temporary values are stored into an MBRF, their distributed storage locati...

in this paper by combining caching and replication techniques proposed a hybrid heuristic method based on the greedy algorithm to use the benefit of each other techniques. the algorithm in each interaction compares all the contents and one that made the best benefit value is selected for replication. the hybrid approach tested in a simulation environment and the results show that hybrid algorit...
