Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency of cache resource pool and reduce the total chip area in multicore processor,a 3D multicore structure is introduced.This structure implements a runtime application-aware job allocation and cache sharing policy.It improves energy efficiency in 3D multicore structure by providing flexible heterogeneity of cache resources and dynamically allocates job to cores of 3D multicore structure.It pairs applications with contrasting cache use,and partitions the cache resources based on the cache hungriness of the applications.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed policy improves the system performance,reduces energy consumption and chip area.Compared with 3D multicore processor based on static cache,the proposed 3D structure improves system Energy-delay Product(EDP)and Energy-delay-area Product(EDAP)by up to 36.9% and 57.2%.

Key words: cache resource pool, cache sharing, multicore processor, 3D multicore structure, job allocation
