We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Abstract. The large and growing impact of memory hierarchies on overall system performance compels designers to investigate innovative techniques to improve memory-system efficienc...
Improvements in main memory speeds have not kept pace with increasing processor clock frequency and improved exploitation of instruction-level parallelism. Consequently, the gap b...
Exploitation of data re-use in combination with the use of custom memory hierarchy that exploits the temporal locality of data accesses may introduce significant power savings, esp...

Microprocessor designers have been torn between tight constraints on the amount of on-chip cache memory and the high latency of off-chip memory, such as dynamic random access memor...
