Abstract
The 16-way set associative, single-ported 16MB cache for the dual-core Xeonreg processor uses a 0.624mum2 cell in a 65nm 8-metal technology. Only 0.8% of the cache is powered up for an access. Sleep transistors are used in the SRAM array and peripherals. Dynamic Pellston with a history buffer protects the cache from latent defects and infant mortality failures
