We describe the Slice Processor micro-architecture that implements a generalized operation-based prefetching mechanism. Operation-based prefetchers predict the series of operation...

Although it has long been realised that ACID transactions by themselves are not adequate for structuring long-lived applications and much research work has been done on developing...

The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is designed to perform a high precision investigation of the decays of the B-meson produced from electron-pos...
Dynamic Optimization is an umbrella term that refers to any optimization of software that is performed after the initial compile time. It is a complementary optimization opportuni...
In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...
