The performance of a processor relies on two important resources: the microprocessor's computing ability of processing data and the memory hierarchy that stores data and supports data to the micro-processor. Unfortunately, as technologies scale down, the progress of the memory h…

The microprocessor industry has started viewing power, along with area and performance, as a decisive design factor in today's microprocessors. The increasing cost of packaging and cooling systems poses stringent requirements on the maximum allowable power dissipation. Most of t…
