Multicore processors have emerged as a powerful platform on which to efficiently exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP). However, due to Amdahl’s Law, such designs will be incr...
We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...
PARSEC is a reference application suite used in industry and academia to assess new Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) designs. No investigation to date has profiled PARSEC on real hardwa...
