The memory intensive nature of object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java has created the need of a high-performance dynamic memory management (DMM); however, it is a challeng...
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...
