— General purpose architectures are designed to offer average high performance regardless of the particular application that is being run. Performance and power inefficiencies a...
Abstract. The increasing gap of processor and main memory performance underlines the need for cache-optimizations, especially on memoryintensive applications. Tools which are able ...
The floating point portion of the SPEC CPU suite and the HPC Challenge suite are widely recognized and utilized as benchmarks that represent scientific application behavior. In th...
Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) allow different applications to concurrently execute on a single chip. When applications with differing demands for memory compete for a shared cache, ...
