—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
Modern server farm and cluster sites consume large quantities of energy both to power and cool the machines in the site. At the same time, less power supply redundancy is offered ...

Abstract. With more cores integrated into one single chip, the overall power consumption from the multiple concurrent running programs increases dramatically in a CMP processor whi...
The SB-PRAM is a massively parallel, uniform memory access (UMA) shared memory computer. The main ideas of the design are multithreading on instruction level, hashing of the addre...
Abstract. Instruction hints have become an important way to communicate compile-time information to the hardware. They can be generated by the compiler and the post-link optimizer ...
