  abstract	= {The common approach to reduce cache conflicts is to
		  increase the associativity. 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 a new
		  organization proposed, the elbow cache. The elbow cache
		  extends the skewed cache organization with a relocation
		  strategy for conflicting blocks. We show that these skewed
		  designs significantly reduces the conflict problems while
		  consuming up to 56\% less dynamic power than a comparably
		  performing 8-way set-associative cache.}
