Dictionary code compression is a technique where long instructions in the memory are replaced with shorter code words used as index in a table to look up the original instructions...
In most modern operating systems, a process is a -protected abstraction for isolating code and data. This protection, however, is selective. Many common mechanisms—dynamic code ...
Data caches are essential in modern processors, bridging the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they yield very complex performance models, which make...
While the number of transistors on a chip increases exponentially over time, the productivity that can be realized from these systems has not kept pace. To deal with the complexit...
Multitasked real-time systems often employ caches to boost performance. However the unpredictable dynamic behavior of caches makes schedulability analysis of such systems difficul...
