As CPU data requests to the level-one (L1) data cache (DC) can represent as much as 25% of an embedded processor\u27s total power dissipation, techniques that decrease L1 DC accesses can significantly enhance processor energy efficiency. Filter caches are known to efficiently decrease the number of accesses to instruction caches. However, due to the irregular access pattern of data accesses, a conventional data filter cache (DFC) has a high miss rate, which degrades processor performance. We propose to integrate a DFC with a fast address calculation technique to significantly reduce the impact of misses and to improve performance by enabling one-cycle loads. Furthermore, we show that DFC stalls can be eliminated even after unsuccessful fast...
