Run-Time Adaptive Cache Management

چکیده
As the microprocessor industry struggles to deliver higher performance superscalar and VLIW processors, memory access penalties have become a major issue. The growing disparity between processor and memory performance will make cache misses increasingly expensive. Additionally, data caches are not always used e ciently, resulting in large numbers of data cache misses. In numeric programs there are several known compiler techniques for optimizing data cache performance. However, integer (non-numeric) programs often have irregular access patterns that are more di cult for the compiler to optimize.

Adaptive Capacity Sharing through Probabilistic Controlled Placement
As capacity demands vary among simultaneously executed threads in chip multiprocessors, dynamically managing cache resources according to the run-time demands is effective to improve L2 cache performance. Differed from existing dynamic cache management schemes based on LRU replacement policy, we propose an adaptive capacity sharing mechanism based on a global reuse replacement policy. This mech...
متن کاملCompiler-Directed Resource Management for Active Code Regions
Recent studies on program execution behavior reveal that a large amount of execution time is spent in small frequently executed regions of code. Whereas adaptive cache management systems focus on allocating cache resources based on execution access patterns, this paper presents a method of using compiler analysis to manage critical processor resources. With the addition of new architecture tech...
متن کاملAdaptive Cache Coherency for Detecting Migratory Shared
Parallel programs exhibit a small number of distinct data-sharing patterns. A common data-sharing pattern, migratory access, is characterized by exclusive read and write access by one processor at a time to a shared datum. We describe a family of adaptive cache coherency protocols that dynamically identify migratory shared data in order to reduce the cost of moving them. The protocols use a sta...
متن کاملClient-Driven Joint Cache Management and Rate Adaptation for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
Due to the fact that proxy-driven proxy cache management and the client-driven streaming solution of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) are two independent processes, some difficulties and challenges arise in media data management at the proxy cache and rate adaptation at the DASH client.This paper presents a novel client-driven joint proxy cache management andDASH rate adaptationmetho...
متن کاملDesign and Performance Evaluation of an Adaptive Cache Coherence Protocol
In shared-memory multiprocessor systems, the local caches which are used to tolerate the performance gap between processor and memory cause additional bus transactions to maintain the coherency of shared data. Especially, coherency misses and data traffic due to spatial locality and false sharing have a singificant effect on the system performance. In this approach, an adaptive cache coherence ...
