Abstract
Reconfigurable cache memory is important to improve the cache performance and reduces the energy consumption. In this paper, a review for previous papers related with reconfigurable cache memory were presented and compared it with our work in which we implemented two dimensional reconfigurable cache memory with exploitation of full amount of cache memory size with different organizations and compare the performance of different cache organizations.
Keywords: Reconfigurable Cache; Hit ratio; Energy consumption; SRAM; FPGA.
