Thread-level speculation is a technique that enables parallel execution of sequential applications on a multiprocessor. This paper describes the complete implementation of the sup...
In current multi-media systems major parts of the functionality consist of software tasks executed on a set of concurrently operating processors. Those tasks interfere with each o...

—A key challenge in chip multiprocessor (CMP) design is to optimize the performance within a power budget limited by the CMP’s cooling, packaging, and power supply capacities. ...
Efficient management of last level caches (LLCs) plays an important role in bridging the performance gap between processor cores and main memory. This paper is motivated by two key...
The number of cores in a single chip multiprocessor is expected to grow in coming years. Likewise, aggregate on-chip cache capacity is increasing fast and its effective utilizatio...
