摘要

大多数现代微处理器都具有多兆字节的共享最后一级缓存(LLC)的多级片上缓存。通过使用多级缓存层次结构,片上缓存的整体大小变得更大。缓存大小的增加导致片上缓存的泄漏功率和面积增加。近年来,为了降低SRAM高速缓存的泄漏功率和泄漏面积,提出了SRAM- edram混合高速缓存。然而,对于SRAM-eDRAM混合缓存,还没有任何研究分析减小的面积对线延迟、缓存访问时间和性能的影响。通过将SRAM-eDRAM混合缓存的一半(或四分之三)SRAM单元替换为小型eDRAM单元,缩短了线长度,最终减少了线延迟和缓存访问时间。在本文中,我们从能量、面积、线延迟、存取时间和性能等方面评估了SRAM-eDRAM混合高速缓存。研究表明,与基于SRAM的高速缓存相比,SRAM- edram混合高速缓存的能耗、面积、线延迟和SRAM阵列访问时间分别降低了53.9%、49.9%、50.4%和38.7%。

Performance and cache access time of SRAM-eDRAM hybrid caches considering wire delay
Most modern microprocessors have multi-level on-chip caches with multi-megabyte shared last-level cache (LLC). By using multi-level cache hierarchy, the whole size of on-chip caches becomes larger. The increased cache size causes the leakage power and area of the on-chip caches to increase. Recently, to reduce the leakage power and area of the SRAM based cache, the SRAM-eDRAM hybrid cache was proposed. For SRAM-eDRAM hybrid caches, however, there has not been any study to analyze the effects of the reduced area on wire delay, cache access time, and performance. By replacing half (or three fourth) of SRAM cells by small eDRAM cells for the SRAM-eDRAM hybrid caches, wire length is shortened, which eventually results in the reduction of wire delay and cache access time. In this paper, we evaluate the SRAM-eDRAM hybrid caches in terms of the energy, area, wire delay, access time, and performance. We show that the SRAM-eDRAM hybrid cache reduces the energy consumption, area, wire delay, and SRAM array access time by up to 53.9%, 49.9%, 50.4%, and 38.7%, respectively, compared to the SRAM based cache.
