Recent improvements in architectural supports for virtualization have extended traditional hardware page walkers to traverse nested page tables. However, current twodimensional (2...
Emerging fast, non-volatile memories (e.g., phase change memories, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) reduce storage access latencies by an order of magnitude compared to state...
