Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...
Parallel and distributed programming is conceptually harder to undertake and to understand than sequential programming, because a programmer often has to manage the coexistence an...
With the increased clock frequency of modern, high-performance processors over 500 MHz, in some cases, limiting the power dissipation has become the most stringent design target. ...

Assembly is a fundamental issue in the volume production of products that include microscopic submillimeter parts. These parts are often fabricated in parallel at high density but...
We have built an eight node SMP cluster called COMPaS (Cluster Of Multi-Processor Systems), each node of which is a quadprocessor Pentium Pro PC. We have designed and implemented a...
