With the end of clock-frequency scaling, parallelism has emerged as the key driver of chip-performance growth. Yet, several factors undermine efficient simultaneous use of onchip ...
Network line cards are experiencing ever increasing line rates, random data bursts, and limited space. Hence, they are more vulnerable than other processormemory environments, to ...
In this paper, we propose a novel hardware caching technique, called switch directory, to reduce the communication latency in CC-NUMA multiprocessors. The main idea is to implemen...
Thermal management is critical for clusters because of the increasing power consumption of modern processors, compact server architectures and growing server density in data center...
We present a new arrangement of directory bits called the segment directory to improve directory storage efficiency: a segment directory can point to several sharing processors wi...
