From personal software to advanced systems, caching mechanisms have steadfastly been a ubiquitous means for reducing workloads. It is no surprise, then, that under the grid and clu...
Despite a large research effort, software distributed shared memory systems have not been widely used to run parallel applications across clusters of computers. The higher perform...
Having a representative workload of the target domain of a microprocessor is extremely important throughout its design. The composition of a workload involves two issues: (i) whic...
