We present views, a new approach to controlling concurrency. Fine-grained locking is often necessary to increase concurrency. Correctly implementing fine-grained locking with tod...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have long held the promise of allowing designers to create systems with performance levels close to custom circuits but with a softwarelike ...
Cores in a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system share multiple hardware resources in the memory subsystem. If resource sharing is unfair, some applications can be delayed significantl...
Shrinking process technologies and growing chip sizes have profound effects on process variation. This leads to Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) where not all cores operate at maximum f...
