| Abstract: | Recently, energy dissipation by microprocessors is getting larger, which leads to a serious problem in terms of allowable temperature and performance improvement for future microprocessors. Cache memory is effective in bridging a growing speed gap between a processor and relatively slow external main memory, and has increased in its size. Almost all of today's commercial processors, not only highperformance microprocessors but embedded ones, have onchip cache memories. However, energy dissipation in the cache memory will approach or exceed 50% of the increasing total energy dissipation by processors. An important point to note is that, in the near future, static (leakage) energy will dominate the total energy consumption in deep sub-micron processes. This paper describes cache memory architecture, especially for on-chip multiprocessors, that achieves efficient reduction of leakage energy in cache memories by exploiting gated-Vdd control, software selfinvalidation for L1 cache, and dynamic data compression for L2 cache. The simulation results show that our techniques can reduce a substantial amount of leakage energy without large performance degradation. |
