In this paper we examine the performance of two multi-lateral cache schemes; one makes block allocation decisions correlated to the reference behavior of regions of memory (NTS), the other correlated to the reference behavior of memory accessing instructions (PCS). To determine the efficacy of exploiting these reference correlation schemes to improve cache management, we compare the performance...

Wireless home networks are widely deployed due to their low cost, ease of installation, and plug-and-play capabilities with consumer electronic devices. Participating devices may cache continuous media (audio and video clips) in order to reduce the demand for outside-the-home network resources and improve the average delay incurred from when a user references a clip to the onset of its display ...

This work studies the interaction of Web proxy cache coherency and replacement policies using trace-driven simulations. We specifically examine the relative importance of each type of policy in affecting the overall costs, the potential of incorporating coherency issues in cache replacement and the inclusion of additional factors such as frequency of resource use in replacement and coherency po...

Cache replacement policies are developed to help insure optimal use of limited resources. Varieties of such algorithms exist with relatively few that dynamically adapt to traffic patterns. Algorithms that are tunable typically utilize offline training mechanisms or trial-and-error to determine optimal characteristics. Utilizing multiple algorithms to establish an efficient replacement policy th...

Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) usually employ shared, lastlevel caches to use on-chip memory resources effectively. Unfortunately, conventional replacement policies applied to shared caches fail to partition memory resources among cores to achieve an optimal execution throughput. This paper presents a novel replacement policy that dynamically estimates how many misses would be eliminated if one mo...

An Efficient Simulation of application specific instruction-set processors (ASIP) is a challenging onus in the area of VLSI design. This paper reconnoiters the possibility of use of ASIP simulators for ASIP Simulation. This proposed study allow as the simulation of the cache memory design with various ASIP simulators like Simple scalar and VEX. In this paper we have implemented the memory confi...

A cache oblivious matrix transposition algorithm is implemented and analyzed using simulation and hardware performance counters. Contrary to its name, the cache oblivious matrix transposition algorithm is found to exhibit a complex cache behavior with a cache miss ratio that is strongly dependent on the associativity of the cache. In some circumstances the cache behavior is found to be worst th...

This paper presents the effects of salvage value on the optimal age-replacement policy for non-repairable products sold with a renewing free-replacement warranty (RFRW). Cost models from the customer’s perspective are developed for both warranted, and non-warranted products. The corresponding optimal replacement ages are derived such that the long-run expected cost rate is minimized. Under the ...
