چکیده
Microprocessors speeds have been increasing faster than the speed of off-chip memory. In a multi-processor system, if the processor number is increased, then the access time of the memory is also high. Thus a 'wall' is raised between processor number and memory access time. When compared with on chip cache, to access the data, off-chip cache takes one order of magnitude more time. Off chip cache also takes two orders of magnitude more time for executing an instruction, than on chip cache. Care should be taken in cache compression, to increase the processor speed but it should not contradict with the increase in the total chip's power consumption. The compression is based on pattern coding and dictionary based matching and if the pattern matches, the code is chosen. Otherwise the dictionary matching is done. The compressor is composed of Pattern matching and Priority

Reduction in Cache Memory Power Consumption based on Replacement Quantity
Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...

متن کاملEmbedded Memory Test Strategies and Repair
The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing. In the proposed m...
متن کاملCode Compression Algorithm for High Performance Microprocessor by Using Verilog
Modern processors use two or more levels of cache memories to bridge the rising disparity between processor and memory speeds. Microprocessor designers have been torn between tight constraints on the amount of onchip cache memory and the high latency of off-chip memory, such as dynamic random access memory. Accessing off-chip memory generally takes an order of magnitude more time than accessing...
