Abstract

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for energy-efficient operation of a device are described. In some embodiments, a cache performance indicator of a cache is monitored, and a set of one or more cache performance parameters based on the cache performance indicator is determined. The cache is dynamically resized to an optimal cache size based on a comparison of the cache performance parameters to their energy-efficient targets to reduce power consumption.
