Abstract:In a Chip Multiprocessor(CMP) with shared caches, the last level cache (LLC) is distributed across all the cores. This increases the on-chip communication delay and thus influence the processor's performance. The LLC is also quite inefficient due to plenty of dead blocks. Replication can be provided in shared caches by replicating cache blocks evicted from cores to the local LLC slices to minimize access latency through utilizing the cache space of dead blocks which will not be referenced again before they are… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
