There is a continuous research effort devoted to overcome the memory wall problem. Prefetching is one of the most frequently used techniques. A prefetch mechanism anticipates the ...
Branches that depend directly or indirectly on load instructions are a leading cause of mispredictions by state-of-the-art branch predictors. For a branch of this type, there is a...
In this work we examine a task scheduling and data migration problem for Grid Networks, which we refer to as the Data Consolidation (DC) problem. DC arises when a task needs for i...

Many performance problems observed in high end systems are actually caused by the runtime system and not the application code. Detecting these cases will require parallel performa...

We consider the problem of balancing the load among m service-providing facilities, while keeping the total cost low. Let R be the underlying demand region, and let p1, . . . , pm...
