In this study, we introduce an evaluation methodology for advanced memory systems. This methodology is based on statistical factorial analysis. It is two fold: it first determines...

In modern clustering environments where the memory hierarchy has many layers (distributed memory, shared memory layer, cache, ¡ ¢ ), an important question is how to fully u...
Pipeline Spectroscopy is a new technique that allows us to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogram, which represents a precis...

Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
In chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), the number of cores and the issue width of each core presents an important design trade-off to balance the amount of TLP and ILP between multi-thre...
