Cache line compression prediction and adaptive compression

Cache line compression prediction and adaptive compression

A central processing unit (CPU) system including a CPU core can include an adaptive cache compressor, which is capable of monitoring a miss profile of a cache. The adaptive cache compressor can compare the miss profile to a miss threshold. Based on this comparison, the adaptive cache compressor can...

Zusammenfassung:A central processing unit (CPU) system including a CPU core can include an adaptive cache compressor, which is capable of monitoring a miss profile of a cache. The adaptive cache compressor can compare the miss profile to a miss threshold. Based on this comparison, the adaptive cache compressor can determine whether to enable compression of the cache.
