This presentation refers to my work I done during my Minor Project during my masters under Prof. M. Balakrishnan and Ass. Prof. S.R. Sarangi.
Goal of this project was to perform analysis of energy breakdown of Static and Dynamic Non-Uniform Cache Access (NUCA). Also to measure power consumption and collect heat generation patters of NUCA architecture. Additionally to interpret inter banks link data access patterns.
- Goal
- Cache Architecture
- UCA and NUCA Architecture
- Energy Breakdown of NUCA
- Test Program and Cache Bank Placement
- Experiment 1
- Expose the effect of two different cache mapping policies of NUCA Architecture on the difference of hop counts of all cache banks.
- Experiment 2
- Identify areas of NUCA that are likely to consume more power and hence generate more heat.
- Experiment 3
- Show the difference in hop counts of cache banks for WriteThrough and WriteBack policy.
