The rise of multi-core processors has shifted performance efforts towards parallel programs. However, single-threaded code, whether from legacy programs or ones difficult to para...
The main memory management has been a critical issue to provide high performance in web cluster systems. To overcome the speed gap between processors and disks, many prefetch sche...
Due to increasing power densities, both on-chip average and peak temperatures are fast becoming a serious bottleneck in processor design. This is due to the cost of removing the h...
Today’s general-purpose processors are increasingly using multithreading in order to better leverage the additional on-chip real estate available with each technology generation...
