—This paper presents a design space exploration of a selective load value prediction scheme suitable for energyaware Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) architectures. A load value...
Availability and performance can be improved using data replication as the basic technique, thus benefitting the services provided by a distributed system. However, replication im...
Continuous evolution in process technology brings energyefficiency and reliability challenges, which are harder for memory system designs since chip multiprocessors demand high ba...
