Query: A Way Memoization Technique for Reducing Power Consumption of Caches in
  Application Specific Integrated Processors   This paper presents a technique for eliminating redundant cache-tag and
cache-way accesses to reduce power consumption. The basic idea is to keep a
small number of Most Recently Used (MRU) addresses in a Memory Address Buffer
(MAB) and to omit redundant tag and way accesses when there is a MAB-hit. Since
the approach keeps only tag and set-index values in the MAB, the energy and
area overheads are relatively small even for a MAB with a large number of
entries. Furthermore, the approach does not sacrifice the performance. In other
words, neither the cycle time nor the number of executed cycles increases. The
proposed technique has been applied to Fujitsu VLIW processor (FR-V) and its
power saving has been estimated using NanoSim. Experiments for 32kB 2-way set
associative caches show the power consumption of I-cache and D-cache can be
reduced by 40% and 50%, respectively.
