Optimizing Cache Bypassing and Warp Scheduling for GPUs.

The massive parallel architecture enables graphics processing units (GPUs) to boost performance for a wide range of applications. Initially, GPUs only employ scratchpad memory as on-chip memory. Recently, to broaden the scope of applications that can be accelerated by GPUs, GPU vendors have used caches as on-chip memory in the new generations of GPUs. Unfortunately, GPU caches face many performanc...
