Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Current CPU utilizes cache memory for decreasing an access speed gap between CPU and main memory. But the cache occupies a large part of the processor energy consumption. Furthermore, due to SRAM characteristic, cache cannot reduce supply voltage compared to CPU core so that DVFS cannot reduce much cache energy. So, we thought that we can reduce further cache energy consumption by preparing different power and speed design cache and switches them in proportion to DVFS activity. Our proposal reduces energy by modifying cache hierarchy to prioritizing low-power and low-speed cache in proportion to DVFS activity.
