Cache Memory Architectures for Handling Big Data Applications: A Survey

摘要

Cache memory plays an important role in the efficient execution of today's big data-based applications. The high-performance computer has multicore processors to support parallel execution of different applications and threads. These multicore processors are placed in a single chip called chip multiprocessor (CMP). Each core has its own private cache memories, and all the core share a common last-level cache (LLC). The performance of LLC plays a major role in handling big data-based applications. In this paper, we have done a survey on the innovative techniques proposed for efficiently handling big data-based applications in the LLC of CMPs.
