Hiding and Reducing Memory Latency : Energy-Efficient Pipeline and Memory System Techniques

Memory accesses in modern processors are both far slower and vastly more energy-expensive than the actual computations. To improve performance, processors spend a significant amount of energy and resources trying to hide and reduce the memory latency. To hide the latency, processors use out-order-or...
