Abstract— In a direct-mapped instruction cache, all instructions that have the same memory address modulo the cache size, share a common and unique cache slot. Instruction cache ...
A coarse-grain multithreaded processor can effectively hide long memory latencies by quickly switching to an alternate task when the active task issues a memory request, improving...
Much research has been done on techniques to teach students how to program. However, it is usually difficult to quantify exactly how students work. Instructors typically only see ...
This paper presents a technique called “workload decomposition” in which the CPU workload is decomposed in two parts: on-chip and off-chip. The on-chip workload signifies the ...
The realization of multimedia systems still heavily relies on building monolithic systems that need to be reengineered for every change in the application and little of which can ...
