Hardware prefetching is a simple and effective technique for hiding cache miss latency and thus improving the overall performance. However, it comes with addition of prefetch buff...
The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high acce...
We propose an efficient framework for dynamic cloud rendering. Base on the proposed simplified lighting model, the Shadow Relation Table (SRT) and Metaball Lighting Texture Databa...
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...
