Although directory-based cache coherence protocols are the best choice when designing chip multiprocessor architectures (CMPs) with tens of processor cores on chip, the memory ove...
Abstract. The excellent performance of the contemporary x86 processors is partially due to the complexity of their memory architecture, which therefore plays a role in performance ...
Exploiting locality at run-time is a complementary approach to a compiler approach for those applications with dynamic memory access patterns. This paper proposes a memory-layout ...
Multiprocessor systems present serious challenges in the design of real-time systems due to the wider variation of execution time of an instruction sequence compared to a uniproce...
—Multithreaded servers with cache-coherent shared memory are the dominant type of machines used to run critical network services and database management systems. To achieve the h...
