Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
The effective use of processor caches is crucial to the performance of applications. It has been shown that cache misses are not evenly distributed throughout a program. In applic...
Of late, there has been a considerable interest in models, algorithms and methodologies specifically targeted towards designing hardware and software for streaming applications. ...
Schedulability analysis of real-time embedded systems requires worst case timing guarantees of embedded software performance. This involves not only language level program analysi...
Multithreaded architectures context switch between instruction streams to hide memory access latency. Although this improves processor utilization, it can increase cache interfere...
