—Super-scalar, out-of-order processors that can have tens of read and write requests in the execution window place significant demands on Memory Level Parallelism (MLP). Multi- ...

The key to high performance in Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) processors lies in optimizing the distribution of shared resources to active threads. Existing resource distributio...
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...
Constraint satisfaction and propositional satisfiability problems are often solved using backtracking search. Previous studies have shown that portfolios of backtracking algorith...
Modern embedded processors use small and simple branch predictors to improve performance. Using complex and accurate branch predictors, while desirable, is not possible as such pre...
