In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effe...
In this paper we introduce the ConSet communication model for distributed memory parallel computers. The communication needs of an application program can be satisfied by some ar...
To cope with the increasing difference between processor and main memory speeds, modern computer systems use deep memory hierarchies. In the presence of such hierarchies, the perf...

This paper presents a new fault injection tool called Exhaustif (Exhaustive Workbench for Systems Reliability). Exhaustif is a SWIFI fault injection tool for fault tolerance verif...
Predictors are inherent components of state-of-the-art microprocessors. Branch predictors are discussed actively from diverse perspectives. Performance of a branch predictor large...
