Abstract—To deal with the “memory wall” problem, microprocessors include large secondary on-chip caches. But as these caches enlarge, they originate a new latency gap between...
Current trends suggest that the number of memory chips per processor chip will increase at least a factor of ten in seven years. This will make DRAM cost, the space and the power i...
On modern computers, the performance of programs is often limited by memory latency rather than by processor cycle time. To reduce the impact of memory latency, the restructuring ...

Flash memory affects not only storage options but also query processing. In this paper, we analyze the use of flash memory for database query processing, including algorithms that...

The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past dec...
