A read-only transaction (ROT) does not modify any data. The main issues regarding processing ROTs are correctness, data currency and performance. Two-phase Locking (2PL) protocol i...
Speculative compiler optimizations are effective in improving both single-thread performance and reducing power consumption, but their implementation introduces significant compl...

Traditional circuit design focuses on optimizing the static critical paths no matter how infrequently these paths are exercised dynamically. Circuit optimization is then tuned to ...
In a dynamic reordering superscalar processor, the front-end fetches instructions and places them in the issue queue. Instructions are then issued by the back-end execution core. T...
With the availability of chip multiprocessor (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) machines, extracting thread level parallelism from a sequential program has become crucial...
