Abstract:
Modern processors rely on advanced memory management techniques such as predicting and prefetching to bridge the processor-memory gap. However, current mechanisms are primarily designed for a specific memory hierarchy level or access pattern, resulting in inefficiencies for diverse workloads with mixed memory access patterns. To address this challenge, this paper proposes DHCM, a Dynamic Hierarchy Coordination Mechanism that intelligently schedules prediction hierarchies and dynamically optimizes memory access processes to enhance system performance. DHCM integrates a hierarchy coordination mechanism driven by a State Trigger. This mechanism dynamically leverages system feedback to prioritize and coordinate memory operations, enabling the simultaneous management of both off-chip load requests and on-chip cache accesses. Through extensive evaluations on the ChampSim simulator, DHCM demonstrates its adaptability and efficiency with an average IPC improvement of 34.08% and 24.09% on single-core and multi-core systems, respectively. Additionally, DHCM contributes a 64.17% miss coverage and 89.33% DRAM-loads reduction.
