We consider ranking and clustering problems related to the aggregation of inconsistent information. Ailon, Charikar, and Newman [1] proposed randomized constant factor approximatio...
Recently, platform FPGAs that integrate sequential processors with a spatial fabric have become prevalent. While these hybrid architectures ease the burden of integrating sequenti...
On machines with high-performance processors, the memory system continues to be a performance bottleneck. Compilers insert prefetch operations and reorder data accesses to improve...

Prefetching in shared-memory multiprocessor systems is an increasingly difficult problem. As system designs grow to incorporate larger numbers of faster processors, memory latency...
Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
