Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Non-uniform power access in large caches with low-swing wires | Modern processors dedicate more than half their chip area to large L2 and L3 caches and these caches contribute significantly to the total processor power. A large cache is typically split into multiple banks and these banks are either connected through a bus (uniform cache access - UCA) or an on-c... | Large caches; Low-swing wires; Non Uniform Cache Access; NUCA | 2009 |

Sudan, Kshitij | Understanding the behavior of Pthread applications on non-uniform cache architectures | Why is it important? As number of cores in a processor scale up, caches would become banked Keeps individual look-up time small. Allows parallel accesses by different cores.
