Exposing I/O Concurrency with Informed Prefetching
Informed prefetching provides a simple mechanism for I/O-intensive, cache-ineffective applications to efficiently exploit highly-parallel I/O subsystems such as disk arrays. This ...

Esodyp+: Prefetching in the Jackal Software DSM
Abstract. Prefetching transfers a data item in advance from its storage location to its usage location so that communication is hidden and does not delay computation. We present a ...

Striping without Sacrifices: Maintaining POSIX Semantics in a Parallel File System
Striping is a technique that distributes file content over multiple storage servers and thereby enables parallel access. In order to be able to provide a consistent view across fi...

Reducing register ports using delayed write-back queues and operand pre-fetch
In high-performance wide-issue microprocessors the access time, energy and area of the register file are often critical to overall performance. This is because these pararmeters g...
