Reactive NUCA: Cache Block Placement & Replication

This lecture delves into the cache block placement and replication policies in Reactive NUCA, discussing the classification of cache accesses, data types, and conventional multicore caches. It covers the need for simple, scalable mechanisms for fast access to all data, the importance of identifying dead cache space for optimization, and the evaluation of different algorithms for capacity and dead-time management in multi-core caches.
