Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIT RATE MAXIMIZATION BY LOGICAL CACHE PARTITIONING IN A MULTI-CORE ENVIRONMENTS. Muthukumar, P. K. JawaharIt is imperative for any level of cache memory in a multi-core architecture to have a well defined, dynamic replacement algorithm in place to ensure consistent superlative performance. The most prevalently used LRU replacement policy does not acquaint itself dynamically to the changes in the workload. As a result, it can lead to sub-optimal performance for certain applications whose workloads … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 6,283 accessesView PDFCite
