In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

Efficient use of the memory hierarchy is critical for achieving high performance in a multiprocessor systemon-chip. An external memory that is shared between processors is a bottl...

—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
Conventional instruction fetch mechanisms fetch contiguous blocks of instructions in each cycle. They are difficult to scale since taken branches make it hard to increase the siz...
As the frequency gap between main memory and modern microprocessor grows, the implementation and efficiency of on-chip caches become more important. The growing latency to memory ...
