| Abstract | This paper addresses the dynamic energy consumption in L1 data cache interfaces of out-of-order superscalar processors. The proposed Multiple Access Low Energy Cache (MALEC) is based on the observation that consecutive memory references tend to access the same page. It exhibits a performance level similar to state of the art caches, but consumes approximately 48% less energy. This is achieved by deliberately restricting accesses to only 1 page per cycle, allowing the utilization of single-ported TLBs and cache banks, and simplified lookup structures of Store and Merge Buffers. To mitigate performance penalties it shares memory address translation results between multiple memory references, and shares data among loads to the same cache line. In addition, it uses a Page-Based Way Determination scheme that holds way information of recently accessed cache lines in small storage structures called way tables that are closely coupled to TLB lookups and are able to simultaneously service all accesses to a particular page. Moreover, it removes the need for redundant tag-array accesses, usually required to confirm way predictions. For the analyzed workloads, MALEC achieves average energy savings of 48% in the L1 data memory subsystem over a high performance cache interface that supports up to 2 loads and 1 store in parallel. Comparing MALEC and the high performance interface against a low power configuration limited to only 1 load or 1 store per cycle reveals 14% and 15% performance gain requiring 22% less and 48% more energy, respectively. Furthermore, Page-Based Way Determination exhibits coverage of 94%, which is a 16% improvement over the originally proposed line-based way determination. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
