“…Many techniques have been proposed in the past to mitigate the negative impact of RTM shift overhead. These include data compression [22], reconfigurability of RTM in terms of deactivating (or activating) rarely (or highly) used domains, runtime data swapping [20], proactively aligning the likely accessed domains to the port positions [1], [12], [20], [21], and intelligent instruction [16] and data placement [2], [5], [7], [8], [11]. Among these proposals, data placement has demonstrated significant benefits with trivial or no overheads.…”
