Improving last level shared cache performance through mobile insertion policies (MIP)
We show the high variability in last-level cache access patterns. When applications interact, current dynamic policies have not enough flexibility. We present MIP, a replacement policy based on mobile insertion position. MIP rapidly adapts to sudden changes in access patterns during application runtime. Our solution provides 30% better hit-rate than LRU and 10% than DRRIP.
