Add to ORKGMost newly announced high erformance micro ro-/ {cessors sup ort 64-bit virtual ad resses and the widt of c?physical a dresses is also growing. As a result, the size of the address tags in th,e L 1 cache is increamng. The impact of on. chip area 1s particularly dramatic when small block sizes are used. At the same time, the per-formance of high performance microprocessors depends more and more on the accuracy of branch prediction and for reasons similar to those in the case of caches the size of the Branch Target Buffer is also increasing linearl with the address width. i“In t M pa~e~, we apply the simple principle stated in the title for hrnltmg the tag size of on-chip caches. In the resulting indirect-t agged cache, the duplication of the...
