Query: Power-Performance Trade-Offs in Nanometer-Scale Multi-Level Caches
  Considering Total Leakage   In this paper, we investigate the impact of T_{ox} and Vth on power
performance trade-offs for on-chip caches. We start by examining the
optimization of the various components of a single level cache and then extend
this to two level cache systems. In addition to leakage, our studies also
account for the dynamic power expanded as a result of cache misses. Our results
show that one can often reduce overall power by increasing the size of the L2
cache if we only allow one pair of Vth/T_{ox} in L2. However, if we allow the
memory cells and the peripherals to have their own Vth's and T_{ox}'s, we show
that a two-level cache system with smaller L2's will yield less total leakage.
We further show that two Vth's and two T_{ox}'s are sufficient to get close to
an optimal solution, and that Vth is generally a better design knob than T_{ox}
for leakage optimization, thus it is better to restrict the number of T_{ox}'s
rather than Vth's if cost is a concern.
