Dynamic Cache Management Technique

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.
