The importance of the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) on system performance is well known. There have been numerous prior efforts addressing TLB design issues for cutting down ...
Aggressive prefetching is very beneficial for memory latency tolerance of many applications. However, it faces significant challenges in multi-core systems. Prefetchers of diff...
Modern processors attempt to overcome increasing memory latencies by anticipating future references and prefetching those blocks from memory. The behavior and possible negative si...
