Modern integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex. The complexity makes it difficult to design, manufacture and integrate these high-performance ICs. The advent o...
Scalability of applications on distributed sharedmemory (DSM) multiprocessors is limited by communication overheads. At some point, using more processors to increase parallelism y...

Recently, chip multiprocessors (CMPs) have arisen as the de facto design for modern high-performance processors, with increasing core counts. An important property of CMPs is that...
Ever-increasing memory footprint of applications and increasing mainstream popularity of shared memory parallel computing motivate us to explore memory compression potential in di...
