本文提出面向访问需求的数据缓存泄漏功耗管理方法,根据访存指令对数据缓存的访问需求控制数据缓存的活动.当流水线中未发现访存指令时,将整个数据缓存保持在非活跃状态;而当发现访存指令进入流水线时,采用两种数据缓存访问控制策略以及对这两种策略的动态选择机制,在流水线早期捕获访存地址的访问需求,对数据缓存的活动作出精细控制.实验结果表明,在平均情况下,本文方法将数据缓存的泄漏功耗降低85.4%,而处理器性能提升4.41%,比传统方法在功耗与性能方面均达到更优结果. 相似文献

The instruction fetch unit (IFU) usually dissipates a considerable portion of total chip power. In traditional IFU architectures, as soon as the fetch address is generated, it needs to be sent to the instruction cache and TLB arrays for instruction fetch. Since limited work can be done by the power-saving logic after the fetch address generation and before the instruction fetch, previous power-saving approaches usually suffer from the unnecessary restrictions from traditional IFU architectures. In this paper, we present CASA, a new power-aware IFU architecture, which effectively reduces the unnecessary restrictions on the power-saving approaches and provides sufficient time and information for the power-saving logic of both instruction cache and TLB. By analyzing, recording, and utilizing the key information of the dynamic instruction flow early in the front-end pipeline, CASA brings the opportunity to maximize the power efficiency and minimize the performance overhead. Compared to the baseline configuration, the leakage and dynamic power of instruction cache is reduced by 89.7% and 64.1% respectively, and the dynamic power of instruction TLB is reduced by 90.2%. Meanwhile the performance degradation in the worst case is only 0.63%. Compared to previous state-of-the-art power-saving approaches, the CASA-based approach saves IFU power more effectively, incurs less performance overhead and achieves better scalability. It is promising that CASA can stimulate further work on architectural solutions to power-efficient IFU designs. 相似文献
