Stack filter: Reducing L1 data cache power consumption

摘要
En 中文
The L1 data cache is one of the most frequently accessed structures in the processor. Because of this and its moderate size it is a major consumer of power. In order to reduce its power consumption, in this paper a small filter structure that exploits the special features of the references to the stack region is proposed. This filter, which acts as a top - non-inclusive - level of the data memory hierarchy, consists of a register set that keeps the data stored in the neighborhood of the top of the stack. Our simulation results show that using a small Stack Filter (SF) of just a few registers, 10-25% data cache power savings can be achieved on average, with a negligible performance penalty.
