For each computer system generation, there are always applications or workloads for which the main memory size is the major limitation. On the other hand, in many cases, one could...
This paper investigates hardware support for fine-grain distributed shared memory (DSM) in networks of workstations. To reduce design time and implementation cost relative to dedi...

In this paper we present a framework to formally describe and study the interconnection of distributed shared memory systems. In our models we minimize the dependencies between the...
In this paper we investigate the behavior of data prefetching on an access decoupled machine and a superscalar machine. We assess if there are bene ts to using the decoupling para...
Several studies have demonstrated that out-of-order execution processors may not be the most adequate organization for wide issue processors due to the increasing penalties that w...
