Introducing a data sliding mechanism for cooperative caching in manycore architecture

Abstract—In future micro-architectures, the increase of the number of cores and wire network complexity is leading to several performance degradation. These platforms are intended to process large amount of data. One of the biggest chal-lenges for systems scalability is actually the memory wall: the memory latency is hardly increasing compared to technology expectations. Recent works explore potential software and hardware solutions mainly based on different caching schemes for addressing off-chip access issues. In this paper, we propose a new cooperative caching method improving the cache miss rate for manycore micro- architec-tures. The work is motivated by some limitations of recent adaptive cooperative caching proposals. Elastic Cooperative caching (ECC), is a dynamic memory partitioning mechanism that allows sharing cache across cooperative nodes accordin
