Data prefetching via helper threading has been extensively investigated on Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) or Virtual Multi-Threading (VMT) architectures. Although reportedly la...
Suppose that a program makes a sequence of m accesses (references) to data blocks, the cache can hold k < m blocks, an access to a block in the cache incurs one time unit, and ...
Recent advent of the asymmetric multi-core processors such as Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/BE) has popularized the use of heterogeneous architectures. A growing body of research is...
