Technological advances along with more complex and dynamic application behavior argue for revisiting mechanisms that adapt logical cache block size to application characteristics. This approach to bridging the processor/memory performance gap has been studied in the past, but most studies used trace-driven simulation and only looked at L1 caches. Given the changes in hardware and software since these seminal studies, we revisit the general approach: we present a transparent, phase-adaptive mechanism for L2 cache block superloading with minimal hardware complexity, evaluating it on a full-system simulator running 23 SPEC CPU2000 applications run to completion using training inputs.
