Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
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 ...

There are four crucial issues associated with performance simulators: simulator retargetability, simulator validation, simulation speed and simulation accuracy. This paper documen...

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

VLIW processors are statically scheduled processors and their performance depends on the quality of the compiler’s scheduler. We propose a scheduling scheme where the applicatio...
