Continuous technology scaling has brought us to a point, where transistors have become extremely susceptible to cosmic radiation strikes, or soft errors. Inside the processor, cac...
The widening gap between processor and memory speeds renders data locality optimization a very important issue in data-intensive embedded applications. Throughout the years hardwa...

—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
