Quantitative analysis and optimization techniques for on-chip cache leakage power.

Quantitative analysis and optimization techniques for on-chip cache leakage power.

On-chip L1 and L2 caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. In nanometer-scale technology, the subthreshold leakage power is becoming one of the dominant total power consumption components of those caches. In this study, we present optimization technique...
