Abstract. Rent's rule and related concepts of connectivity such as dimensionality, line-length distributions, and separators have found great use in fundamental studies of di ...
Optimizations aimed at reducing the impact of memory operations on execution speed have long concentrated on improving cache performance. These efforts achieve a reasonable level...
Combining high performance with low power consumption is becoming one of the primary objectives of processor designs. Instead of relying just on sleep mode for conserving power, a...
There is a continuous research effort devoted to overcome the memory wall problem. Prefetching is one of the most frequently used techniques. A prefetch mechanism anticipates the ...
