Optimal bypass monitor for high performance last-level caches
Lingda Li, Dong Tong, Zichao Xie, Junlin Lu, Xu Cheng · 2012
In the last-level cache, large amounts of blocks have reuse distances greater than the available cache capacity. Cache performance and efficiency can be improved if some subset of these distant reuse blocks can reside in the cache longer. The bypass technique is an effective and attractive solution that prevents the insertion of harmful blocks.
