It has been shown that many requests miss in all remote nodes in shared memory multiprocessors. We are motivated by the observation that this behavior extends to much coarser grai...
Chip multi-processors (CMP) are rapidly emerging as an important design paradigm for both high performance and embedded processors. These machines provide an important performance...

The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
The increasing numbers of cores, shared caches and memory nodes within machines introduces a complex hardware topology. High-performance computing applications now have to carefull...
As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance o...
