Cache Filtering Techniques to Reduce the Negative Impact of Useless Speculative Memory References on Processor Performance

High-performance processors employ aggressive speculation and prefetching techniques to increase performance. Speculative memory references caused by these techniques sometimes bring data into the caches that are not needed by correct execution. This paper proposes the use of the first-level caches as filters that predict the usefulness of speculative memory references....
