  1. ECE/CS 752: Midterm 2 Review Instructor:Mikko H Lipasti Spring 2012 University of Wisconsin-Madison

  2. Midterm 2 Review Topics • Replacement policies (Lect 11) • Advanced Caches (Lect 14) • Prefetching (Lect 15) • Main Memory (Lect 16) • Advanced Microarchitecture (Lect 17) • Multiple Threads (Lect 18)

  3. Replacement Policies • Replacement policies affect capacity and conflict misses • Policies covered: • Belady’s optimal replacement • Least-recently used (LRU) • Practical pseudo-LRU (tree LRU) • Protected LRU • LIP/DIP variant • Set dueling to dynamically select policy • Not-recently-used (NRU) or clock algorithm • RRIP (re-reference interval prediction) • Least frequently used (LFU) • Contest results

  4. Advanced Caches • Coherent Memory Interface • Evaluation methods • Better miss rate: skewed associative caches, victim caches • Reducing miss costs through software restructuring • Higher bandwidth: Lock-up free caches, superscalar caches • Beyond simple blocks • Two level caches

  5. Prefetching • Prefetching anticipates future memory references • Software prefetching • Next-block, stride prefetching • Markov, Global history buffer prefetching • Issues/challenges • Accuracy • Timeliness • Overhead (bandwidth) • Conflicts (displace useful data)

  6. Main Memory • DRAM chips • Memory organization • Interleaving • Banking • Memory controller design • Hybrid Memory Cube • Phase Change Memory (reading) • Virtual memory • TLBs • Interaction of caches and virtual memory (Baer et al.)
