B-tree page size when caching is considered

Although direct-mapped caches suffer from higher miss ratios as compared to set-associative caches, they are attractive for today's high-speed pipelined processors that require very low access times. Victim caching was proposed by Jouppi [1] as an ...

The increase in working set sizes of contemporary applications outpaces the growth in cache sizes, resulting in frequent main memory accesses that deteriorate system performance due to the disparity between processor and memory speeds. Prefetching ...

This paper presents CMP Cooperative Caching, a unified framework to manage a CMP's aggregate on-chip cache resources. Cooperative caching combines the strengths of private and shared cache organizations by forming an aggregate "shared" cache through ...
