Caching is a simple yet powerful technique that has had a significant impact on improving the performance of various computer systems. From internet content delivery to CPUs, domain name systems, and database systems, caching has played a pivotal role in making these systems faster and more efficient. The basic idea behind caching is to store frequently accessed data locally, so that future requests for that data can be served more quickly. For example, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Akamai deploys thousands of edge caches across the globe, so that end-user requests can be served from a nearby cache, rather …

Increasing number of cores in chip multiprocessors (CMP) result in increasing traffic to last-level cache (LLC). Without commensurate increase in LLC bandwidth, such traffic cannot be sustained resulting in loss of performance. Further, as the number of cores increases, it is necessary to scale up the LLC size; otherwise, the LLC miss rate will rise, resulting in a loss of performance. Unfortunately, for a unified LLC with uniform cache access time, access latency increases with cache size, resulting in performance loss. Previously, researchers have proposed partitioning the cache into multiple smaller caches interconnected by a communication network which increases aggregate …
