Within two or three technology generations, processor architects will face a number of major challenges. Wire delays will become critical, and power considerations will temper the ...
On-chip coherence directories of today's multi-core systems are not energy efficient. Coherence directories dissipate a significant fraction of their power on unnecessary loo...

We show empirically that some of the issues that affected the design of linear algebra libraries for distributed memory architectures will also likely affect such libraries for s...

A primary goal of high-level modeling is to efficiently explore a broad design space, converging on an optimal or near-optimal system architecture before moving to a more detaile...

Current shared memory multicore and multiprocessor systems are nondeterministic. Each time these systems execute a multithreaded application, even if supplied with the same input,...
