The paper proposes DCO, a dynamic cache orchestration scheme for multi-core AI accelerators that uses application-aware policies and dataflow information to guide cache replacement, bypass decisions, and thrashing mitigation. Using a cycle-accurate simulator, the authors demonstrate up to 1.80× speedup over conventional cache architectures and validate the approach with an analytical model and RTL implementation. The design occupies 0.064 mm² on a 15 nm process and operates at 2 GHz, showing that a shared system-level cache can simplify programming while boosting performance for large language model workloads.
