Abstract. The load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modern superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed a...
Processor cycle time continues to decrease faster than main memory access times, placing higher demands on cache memory hierarchy performance. To meet these demands, conventional ...

Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
Prefetching is one approach to reducing the latency of memory operations in modern computer systems. In this paper, we describe the Markov prefetcher. This prefetcher acts as an i...
