The memory hierarchy of high performance and embedded processors are one of the major energy consumers. The article describes a new technique for introducing a new cache called the mini cache- the L0-cache which is located in between the level I cache and the processor. instruction stream can be provided to the data path if this is done properly. The utilization of the more expensive level-I cache can be reduced by this.
The propositions for the resizable cache designs are broadly classified into two types:
-Based on the cache organization:
Here the the cache’s set-associativity is varied by the selective-ways organization and the the number of cache sets is varied by the selective-sets
-based on the resizing strategy
Here , on application statically sets the cache size prior to an application’s execution and also the dynamic resizing both across and within application is also done by the application.
The five techniques which are used for the dynamic management of the cache are:
-Simple Method. .
-Static Method.
-Dynamic Confidence Estimation Method.
-Restrictive Dynamic Confidence Estimation Method.
-Dynamic Distance Estimation Method.
