Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
The phase-change random access memory (PRAM) technology is fast maturing to production levels. Main advantages of PRAM are non-volatility, byte addressability, in-place programmab...
In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...
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 ...
Performance improvement solely through transistor scaling is becoming more and more difficult, thus it is increasingly common to see domain specific accelerators used in conjunc...
