Abstract: Instruction caches consume a large fraction of the total
power in modern low-power microprocessors. In particular,
set-associative caches, which are preferred because of
lower miss rates, require greater access energy on hits than
direct-mapped caches; this is because of the need to locate
instructions in one of several ways. Way prediction has
been proposed to reduce power dissipation in conventional
set-associative caches; however, its application to CAMtagged
caches, which are commonly used... (Update)

...via the program counter. Hence they are amenable to software invisible micro architectural techniques for power reduction, e.g. [16, 17, 15]. We first review the design of a low power cache. Then we explain caches tagged with content addressable memory. In section 3 we...
.... complexity; for example, way memoization is a technique which can eliminate tag checks for inter line sequential and non sequential accesses [32]. Figure 4 14 demonstrates the energy impact of the ILS optimization. For reference, the energy for doing a tag search every cycle is...
