In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), data accesslatency dependson the memory hierarchy organization, the on-chip interconnect (NoC), and the running workload. Reducing data access late...
Sophisticated middlebox services–such as network monitoring and intrusion detection, DDoS mitigation, worm scanning, XML parsing and protocol transformation–are becoming incre...
On-line transaction processing exhibits poor memory behavior in high-end multiprocessor servers because of complex sharing patterns and substantial interaction between the databas...
