Proceedings ArticleDOI
A modified approach to data cache management
TL;DR: The bare minimum amount of local memories that programs require to run without delay is measured by using the Value Reuse Profile, which contains the dynamic value reuse information of a program's execution, and by assuming the existence of efficient memory systems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
HLS: combining statistical and symbolic simulation to guide microprocessor designs
TL;DR: This work introduces HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models and symbolic execution to evaluate design alternatives and validates the accuracy of HLS through correlation with existing cycle-by-cycle simulation techniques and current generation hardware.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Eager writeback - a technique for improving bandwidth utilization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new technique called Eager Writeback, which re-distributes and balances memory traffic by writing and "cleaning" dirty cache lines prior to their eviction.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Addressing system-level trimming issues in on-chip nanophotonic networks
TL;DR: This work shows that at the system level using a fixed cost model is inappropriate — and demonstrates that the cost of heating has a non-linear relationship with the number of rings, and also that current injection can lead to thermal runaway.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Utilizing reuse information in data cache management
TL;DR: This paper presents a comparative evaluation of two approaches that utilize reuse information for more efficiently managing the firstlevel cache, and shows that using effective address reuse information performs better than using program counter reuse information.
