Abstract
We propose a SoftCache for low-power and reduced die area while providing application flexibility. Our implementations demonstrate that the network is a power efficient means for accessing remote memory. The impact of this work suggests that SoftCache systems may be useful in future consumer electronics. Our results show that die power is reduced by 20%, die area is reduced by 10%, and trans- ferring applications over the network is more energy-delay effective than local DRAM.
