Although caches for decades have been the backbone of the memory system, the speed gap between CPU and main memory suggests their augmentation with prefetching mechanisms. Recentl...
With faster CPU clocks and wider pipelines, all relevant microarchitecture components should scale accordingly. There have been many proposals for scaling the issue queue, registe...
Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...

We propose a new storage model called MBSM (Multiresolution Block Storage Model) for laying out tables on disks. MBSM is intended to speed up operations such as scans that are typ...
Performance and power consumption of an on-chip interconnect that forms the backbone of Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs), are directly influenced by the underlying network topology. Bo...
