As Java is emerging as one of the major programming languages in software development, studying how Java applications behave on recent SMT processors is of great interest. This pa...
Application-specific extensions to the computational capabilities of a processor provide an efficient mechanism to meet the growing performance and power demands of embedded appl...
With power dissipation becoming an increasingly vexing problem across many classes of computer systems, measuring power dissipation of real, running systems has become crucial for...
Parallel processors such as SIMD computers have been successfully used in various areas of high performance image and data processing. Due to their characteristics of highly regula...
We introduce Branch Predictor Prediction (BPP) as a power-aware branch prediction technique for high performance processors. Our predictor reduces branch prediction power dissipat...
