Improvements in main memory speeds have not kept pace with increasing processor clock frequency and improved exploitation of instruction-level parallelism. Consequently, the gap b...
While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
Abstract— Many of today’s data-intensive applications manipulate disk-resident data sets. As a result, their overall behavior is tightly coupled with their disk performance. Un...

— Embedded processors are required to achieve high performance while running on batteries. Thus, they must exploit all the possible means available to reduce energy consumption w...
With the widening performance gap between processors and main memory, efficient memory accessing behavior is necessary for good program performance. Loop partition is an effective...
