Add to ORKGAs technology scales down at an exponential rate, leakage power is fast becoming the dominant component of the total power budget. A large share of the total leakage power is dissipated in the cache hierarchy. To reduce cache leakage, individual cache lines can be kept in drowsy mode, a low voltage, low leakage state. Every cache access may then result in dynamic power consumption and performance penalties. A trade-off between the amount of leakage power saved on one hand, and the impact on dynamic power and performance on the other hand must be reached. To affect this trade-off, we introduce "slumberous caches " in which the power level of cache lines is controlled with the cache replacement policy. In a slumberous cache, cache l...
