Effective utilisation of llcs by managing associativity placement and mapping

Abstract

Tiled based CMP TCMP has become the essential next generation scalable multicore architecture The cores in TCMP commonly share a large sized Last Level Cache LLC NUCA is used in LLC to divide it into multiple banks such that each bank can be accessed independently Static NUCA SNUCA has a fixed address mapping policy whereas dynamic NUCA DNUCA allows blocks to relocate nearer to the processing cores at runtime It has been observed that the LLC of the current TCMP architectures is not
