The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
Previous work has shown that cache line sizes impact performance differently for different desktop programs – some programs work better with small line sizes, others with larger...
Increased bandwidth in the Internet puts great demands on network routers; for example, to route minimum sized Gigabit Ethernet packets, an IP router must process about packets pe...
Memory system optimizations have been well studied on single-threaded systems; however, the wide use of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) techniques raises questions over their ef...
In this paper, we propose a first step towards a time predictable computer architecture for single-chip multiprocessing (CMP). CMP is the actual trend in server and desktop syste...
