In modern computing systems, cache memory plays a crucial role in bridging the speed gap between the processor and the main memory. Efficient cache design is essential for enhancing system performance ...

each set contains multiple blocks once we’ve found correct set, must compare with all tags in that set to find our data Size of $ = # sets * N blocks/set * block ...

Abstract: In this paper, improvised versions of the set associative cache accessing technique have been proposed to reduce the power consumption. In phased cache the cache-access process is divided ...

Abstract: In order to minimize the conflict miss rate, cache memories can be organized in set-associative manner. The downside of increasing the associativity is increase in the per access energy ...

The memory hierarchy (including caches and main memory) can consume as much as 50% of an embedded system power. This power is very application dependent, and tuning caches for a given application is a ...
