Due to the ever increasing performance gap between the processor and the main memory, it becomes crucial to bridge that gap by designing an efficient memory hierarchy capable of reducing the average ...

SIEVE (Simple, space-efficient, In-memory, EViction mEchanism) is a cache eviction algorithm that maintains a single bit per entry to track whether an item has been "visited" since it was last ...

When the counters indicate that the cache has too many low-priority cache lines in it, the cache's LRU replacement algorithm then chooses from among only low-priority blocks in a set as candidates ...
