As computing breaches petascale limits both in processor performance and storage capacity, the only way that current and future gains in performance can be achieved is by increasi...
Multi-core processors have become an integral part of mainstream high performance computer systems. In parallel, exponentially increasing power density and packaging costs have ne...
Asymmetric multicore processors (AMP) consist of cores exposing the same instruction-set architecture (ISA) but varying in size, frequency, power consumption and performance. AMPs...
Conventional processors use a fully-associative store queue (SQ) to implement store-load forwarding. Associative search latency does not scale well to capacities and bandwidths re...
As the importance of multimedia applications in hand-held devices increases, the computational strain and corresponding demand for energy in such devices continues to grow. Portab...
