The recent shift in the industry towards chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs has brought the need for multi-threaded applications to mainstream computing. As observed in several lim...
We propose dynamic scheduler designs to improve the scheduler scalability and reduce its complexity in the SMT processors. Our first design is an adaptation of the recently propos...
One of the challenges present to a Java compiler is Java’s frequent use of runtime exceptions. These exceptions affect performance directly by requiring explicit checks, as wel...
