The SGI Origin 2000 is designedto support a wide range of applications and has low local and remote memory latencies. However, it often has a high ratio of remote to local misses....
Designing temperature-aware microarchitectures for microprocessors at new technologies is becoming a critical requirement due to the exponentially increasing on-chip power density...
Software-controlled data prefetching is a promising technique for improving the performance of the memory subsystem to match today's high-performance processors. While prefet...
As transistors keep shrinking and on-chip data caches keep growing, static power dissipation due to leakage of caches takes an increasing fraction of total power in processors. Se...
This paper introduces the idea of using a User-Level Memory Thread (ULMT) for correlation prefetching. In this approach, a user thread runs on a general-purpose processor in main ...
