Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...
Abstract. The serialization constraints induced by the detection and enforcement of true data dependences have always been regarded as requirements for correct execution. We propos...
SARC merges cache controller and network interface functions by relying on a single hardware primitive: each access checks the tag and the state of the addressed line for possible...
Current instruction fetch policies in SMT processors are oriented towards optimization of overall throughput and/or fairness. However, they provide no control over how individual ...

—Shared cache allocation policies play an important role in determining CMP performance. The simplest policy, LRU, allocates cache implicitly as a consequence of its replacement ...
