Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...
Data prefetching has been widely used in the past as a technique for hiding memory access latencies. However, data prefetching in multi-threaded applications running on chip multi...
