Over the course of this decade, uniprocessor chips have given way to multi-core chips which have become the primary building blocks of today's computer systems. The presence o...
Current trends signal an imminent crisis in the simulation of future CMPs (Chip MultiProcessors). Future micro-architectures will offer more and more thread contexts to execute pa...
