Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) containing massive parallel hardware have become more flexible with unified shader cores which can run diverse graphics operations. Moreover, programmers can run general-purpose applications on GPUs easily, since GPU vendors provide user-friendly application programming interfaces (APIs). Many studies for improving system performance using GPUs have been researched...
Improving the performance of embedded systems can be supported by increasing the hit rates of last level caches (LLC). To enhance the hit rates of LLC, we propose a new prefetch technique. The proposed prefetch technique can fetch the data from main memory prior to actual requests to reduce the long latency to the main memory. To support the proposed technique, we introduce a new structure, LLC buffer...
