With the increasing clock rate and transistor count of today's microprocessors, power dissipation is becoming a critical component of system design complexity. Thermal and po...
Pattern matching relies on deterministic finite automata (DFA) to search for predefined patterns. While a bit-DFA method is recently proposed to exploit the parallelism in pattern...
This paper quantifies the effect of architectural design decisions on the performance of TxLinux. TxLinux is a Linux kernel modified to use transactions in place of locking prim...
