Prefetching is one approach to reducing the latency of memory operations in modern computer systems. In this paper, we describe the Markov prefetcher. This prefetcher acts as an i...
— Today, mobile and embedded real time systems have to cope with the migration and allocation of multiple software tasks running on top of a real time operating system (RTOS) res...

The trend in workstation hardware is towards symmetric shared-memory multiprocessors (SMPs). User expectations are for (largely) automatic exploitation of parallelismon an SMP, si...
The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past de...
Code size has always been an important issue for all embedded applications as well as larger systems. Code compression techniques have been devised as a way of battling bloated co...
