The memory system's large and growing contribution to system performance motivates more aggressive approaches to improving its efficiency. We propose and analyze a memory hie...
Low disk throughput is one of the main impediments to improving the performance of data-intensive servers. In this paper, we propose two management techniques for the disk control...
This paper advocates that cache coherence protocols use a bandwidth adaptive approach to adjust to varied system configurations (e.g., number of processors) and workload behaviors...

Several studies of speculative execution based on values have reported promising performance potential. However, virtually all microarchitectures in these studies were described i...
fipical translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)can map a far smaller region of memory than application footprints demand, and the cost of handling TLB misses therefore limits the per...
