PROJECT TITLE :

Leveraging Non-Volatile Storage to Achieve Versatile Cache Optimizations

ABSTRACT:

The efficiency of caches plays a vital role in microprocessor. In this paper, we tend to introduce a completely unique and versatile cache substrate that employs non-volatile nonetheless versatile SRAM (NV2-SRAM) cell design, which synergistically integrates new memory devices into the standard SRAM cells. Our experiments show that it can achieve a 67 percent energy saving and 3:1x reliability improvement over the SRAM based mostly cache, outperforming the drowsy cache design in terms of each power efficiency and reliability. Moreover, the proposed cache design can be used to boost the performance of prefetching schemes by 10 p.c.
