Naveen Muralimanohar,Rajeev Balasubramonian,Norm Jouppi +2 more
- 01 Dec 2007
TL;DR: This work implements two major extensions to the CACTI cache modeling tool that focus on interconnect design for a large cache, and adopts state-of-the-art design space exploration strategies for non-uniform cache access (NUCA).

Wilson W. L. Fung,Ivan Sham,George L. Yuan,Tor M. Aamodt +3 more
- 01 Dec 2007
TL;DR: It is shown that a realistic hardware implementation that dynamically regroups threads into new warps on the fly following the occurrence of diverging branch outcomes improves performance by an average of 20.7% for an estimated area increase of 4.7%.
