....is favorable. Because M i Gamma1 0 and M i Gamma1 is independent of compression, the only difference between the approaches is t i and i . Equation 2 indicates that t i is a function of h i , m i , and t i 1 , giving a recursive dependence down to level n. We use the following lemmas [10] to simplify the recurrence relation. Lemma 1 : m Lemma 2 : t j = t From Lemmas 1 and 2, the difference between t and t i relies only on (i) the compression ratio at the i th level, ii) the miss ratio at the i th level for compression and non compression approaches, and (iii) the ....
....is directly proportional to m i , the miss rate at level i, and t i 1 , the access time of level i 1. For example, if m i or t i 1 doubles, dmax is doubled. 3.2. 2 Case studies of memory systems Compression at the L1 cache is not feasible because of the limited decompression time is allowed[10]. At the other extreme, compression at secondary storage cannot improve memory performance because we cannot reduce the miss rate, since accesses to this level never miss. A general analysis. Figure 4 shows the maximum allowed decompression delay if compression is to be effective. Points on the ....

....be answered relatively easily and with reasonable accuracy. It is ideally suited for evaluating the relative difference between two designs. For example, our model can predict the effect on the miss rate of changing the program size, say, due to procedure inlining [5] 8] 9] or due to compression [17]. The numbers gathered by the gap model provide insight into why various misses are occurring. In particular, our model clearly indicates whether cache misses are compulsory, conflict and capacity [6] 7] Our model also shows which basic blocks are likely to account for many cache misses. 1.4 ....
