3D-integration is a promising technology to help combat the “Memory Wall” in future multi-core processors. Past work has considered using 3D-stacked DRAM as a large last-level...
Usual cache optimisation techniques for high performance computing are difficult to apply in embedded VLIW applications. First, embedded applications are not always well structur...

This paper presents a framework for analyzing the performance of multithreaded programs using a model called a constraint graph. We review previous constraint graph definitions fo...
While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
