概要 This paper proposes an architecture for low-power direct-mapped instruction caches, called “history-based tag-comparison (HBTC) cache”. The HBTC cache attempts to detect and omit unnecessary tag check...s at run time. Execution footprints are recorded in an extended BTB (Branch Target Buffer), and are used to know the cache residence of target instructions before starting cache access. In our simulation, it is observed that our approach can reduce the total count of tag checks by 90 %, resulting in 15 % of cache-energy reduction, with less than 0.5 % performance degradation.続きを見る
