Understanding intrinsic characteristics and system implications of flash memory based solid state drives
Flash Memory based Solid State Drive (SSD) has been called a “pivotal technology” that could revolutionize data storage systems. Since SSD shares a common interface with the t...

The potential for variable-granularity access tracking for optimistic parallelism
Support for optimistic parallelism such as thread-level speculation (TLS) and transactional memory (TM) has been proposed to ease the task of parallelizing software to exploit the...

Comparison of Hardware and Software Cache Coherence Schemes
We use mean value analysis models to compare representative hardware and software cache coherence schemes for a large-scale shared-memory system. Our goal is to identify the workl...

Compiler-decided dynamic memory allocation for scratch-pad based embedded systems
This paper presents a highly predictable, low overhead and yet dynamic, memory allocation strategy for embedded systems with scratch-pad memory. A scratch-pad is a fast compiler-m...
