  abstract	= {Increasing the associativity is a common way to reduce the
		  performance-detrimental conflicts in a cache. From a
		  dynamic cache power perspective this associativity comes at
		  a high cost. In this paper we present miss ratio
		  performance and dynamic power estimates for a skewed cache
		  and also for the organization proposed in this paper, the
		  elbow cache. We will show that by extending a skewed cache
		  organization with a relocation strategy we can obtain a
		  miss ratio that is comparable to the miss ratio of an 8-way
		  set-associative cache, while consuming up to 48\% less
		  dynamic power.}
