With aggressive superscalar processors delivering diminishing returns, alternate designs that make good use of the increasing chip densities are actively being explored. One such ...
Shrinking process technologies and growing chip sizes have profound effects on process variation. This leads to Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) where not all cores operate at maximum f...

Multicore architectures featuring specialized accelerators are getting an increasing amount of attention, and this success will probably influence the design of future High Perfor...
Most modern Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) feature shared cache on chip. For multithreaded applications, the sharing reduces communication latency among co-running threads, but also r...
