We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

— Modern CPUs operate at GHz frequencies, but the latencies of memory accesses are still relatively large, in the order of hundreds of cycles. Deeper cache hierarchies with large...
