Abstract: Introduction Since caches consume a significant fraction of total processor energy, e.g., 43% for StrongARM-1 [8], many studies have investigated energy-efficient cache designs [1, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18]. However, none of these design studies have considered using content-addressable-memory (CAM) tags in highly-associative caches. This is particularly surprising given that the leading commercial lowpower processors over the last decade have all employed CAM-tag caches. For example, the ARM3... (Update)
