Most modern cores perform a highly-associative translation look aside buffer (TLB) lookup on every memory access. These designs often hide the TLB lookup latency by overlapping it...
While support for IP multicasting continues to spread enabling new applications, an increasing number of hosts connects to the worldwide Internet via low bandwidth Point-toPoint l...
Virtual caches are employed as L1 caches of both high performance and embedded processors to meet their short latency requirements. However, they also introduce the synonym proble...
The ability to check memory references against their associated array/buffer bounds helps programmers to detect programming errors involving address overruns early on and thus avo...
A link is an unreliable FIFO channel. As we mentioned earlier, it is an abstraction of a point-topoint wire or of a simple broadcast LAN. It is unreliable because noise or other ph...
