Aggressive hardware-based and software-based prefetch algorithms for hiding memory access latencies were proposed to bridge the gap of the expanding speed disparity between proces...
Prefetching is one approach to reducing the latency of memory operations in modern computer systems. In this paper, we describe the Markov prefetcher. This prefetcher acts as an i...
A multiprocessor prefetch scheme is described in which a miss is followed by a prefetch of a group of lines, a neighborhood, surrounding the demand-fetched line. The neighborhood ...
DTA (Decoupled Threaded Architecture) is designed to exploit fine/medium grained Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) by using a distributed hardware scheduling unit and relying on exi...
Multimedia database systems (MMDBSs) have to be capable to handle efficiently time-dependent and timeindependent data, and to support Quality-of-Service (QoS). To support continuo...
