A study of cache sub-ranking and block buffering as power reduction techniques for multiprocessor cache design

Research shows that the bulk of power consumption of a processor system goes to the cache memory of the processor. The two most common techniques in reducing the power consumption of the cache memory are cache sub-banking and block buffering. However, these techniques have only been applied to singl...
