The load instructions of some of the bioinformatics applications in the BioPerf suite possess interesting characteristics: only a few static loads cover almost the entire dynamic ...
Recently, graphics processing units (GPUs) are providing increasingly higher performance with programmable internal processors, namely vertex processors (VPs) and fragment process...
Value locality, a recently discovered program attribute that describes the likelihood of the recurrence of previously-seen program values, has been studied enthusiastically in the...
On-line transaction processing exhibits poor memory behavior in high-end multiprocessor servers because of complex sharing patterns and substantial interaction between the databas...
Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS’s) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS’s have been main...
