Popis: Last level caches (LLCs) are part of the last line of defense against the famous memory wall problem. Today, almost all processors utilize a LLC for the same reason. This study extends our previous work, which proposed a cache-partitioning mechanism using thread classification. Here, we propose three enhancements to the existing system: 1) an adaptive traffic threshold mechanism for more portable classification hardware, 2) a new method for classifying way-hungry threads, and finally, 3) a thorough comparison of two design alternatives. Compared to the original way- partitioning mechanism, we show that the proposed mechanism's performance improved by around 6%, on average. © 2018 TÜBITAK. :114E119 Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas This work is supported by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) under the title Wise-Cache and Grant No:114E119.
