Phase-Change Memory (PCM) technology has received substantial attention recently. Because PCM is byte-addressable and exhibits access times in the nanosecond range, it can be used...
Abstract. As the disparity between processor and memory speed continues to widen, the exploitation of locality of reference in shared-memory multiprocessors becomes an increasingly...
Many data center virtualization solutions, such as VMware ESX, employ content-based page sharing to consolidate the resources of multiple servers. Page sharing identifies virtual...

Next generation computer systems will have gigabytes of physical memory and processors in the 200 MIPS range or higher. While this trend suggests that memory management for most p...
As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache efficiency is an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have been...
