Abstract-The delivery of large files to single users, such as application programs for some versions of the envisioned network computer, or movies, is expected by many to be one of...
Traditional architectural designs are normally focused on CPUs and have been often decoupled from I/O considerations. They are inefficient for high-speed network processing with a...
In order to achieve high performance, contemporary microprocessors must effectively process the four major instruction types: ALU, branch, load, and store instructions. This paper...

In the near future, the majority of personal computers are expected to have several processing units. This is referred to as Core Multiprocessing (CMP). Furthermore, each of the c...
Non-volatile storage technologies such as flash memory, Magnetic RAM (MRAM), and MEMS-based storage are emerging as serious alternatives to disk drives. Among these, MEMS storage...
