This paper proposes and studies a distributed L2 cache management approach through page-level data to cache slice mapping in a future processor chip comprising many cores. L2 cach...
Process variations in integrated circuits have significant impact on their performance, leakage and stability. This is particularly evident in large, regular and dense structures...
Continuous technology scaling has brought us to a point, where transistors have become extremely susceptible to cosmic radiation strikes, or soft errors. Inside the processor, cac...
Modern embedded processors use data caches with higher and higher degrees of associativity in order to increase performance. A set–associative data cache consumes a significant...

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...
