  2. 6. Techniques to Reduce Energy Dissipation in Level-1 Data Caches

    Author : Alen Bardizbanyan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The number of battery powered devices is growing significantly and these devices require energy-efficient hardware to operate for a useful period of time. Also, the future of the performance scaling in processors depends on the energy efficiency as the increasing number of cores on a single chip does not leave room for inefficient microarchitectures.

  4. 7. High Performance Hybrid Memory Systems with 3D-stacked DRAM

    Author : Evangelos Vasilakis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hybrid memory systems; DRAM caches; Data migration; 3D-stacked DRAM;

    Abstract : The bandwidth of traditional DRAM is pin limited and so does not scale well with the increasing demand of data intensive workloads limiting performance. 3D-stacked DRAM can alleviate this problem providing substantially higher bandwidth to a processor chip. READ MORE

  5. 8. Evaluation of design alternatives for a directory-based cache coherence protocol in shared-memory multiprocessors

    Author : Håkan Grahn; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In shared-memory multiprocessors, caches are attached to the processors in order to reduce the memory access latency. To keep the memory consistent, a cache coherence protocol is needed. READ MORE

  6. 9. Accurate Leakage-Conscious Architecture-Level Power Estimation for SRAM-based Memory Structures

    Author : Minh Quang Do; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SRAM Power Modeling; Deep Submicron; Power-Performance Estimation Tool; VLSI; Power Estimation; DSP Architecture; CMOS; Cache Power Modeling;

    Abstract : Following Moore’s Law, technology scaling will continue providing integration capacityof billions of transistors for IC industry. As transistors keep shrinking in size, leakagepower dissipation dramatically increases and gradually becomes a first-class design constraint. READ MORE

  7. 10. Data Access Techniques for Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Performance in In-order Pipelines

    Author : Alen Bardizbanyan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Data Cache; Pipeline; Energy Efficiency; Data Access; Performance;

    Abstract : Energy efficiency is one of the key metrics in the design of a widerange of processor types. For example, battery powered devices, whichare growing in numbers every day, require energy efficient processorsto be able to operate for a useful period of time. READ MORE
