A popular solution to internet performance problems is the widespread caching of data. Many caching algorithms have been proposed in the literature, most attempting to optimize fo...

Modern microprocessors employ increasingly complicated branch predictors to achieve instruction fetch bandwidth that is sufficient for wide out-of-order execution cores. While ex...
In this paper we compare the performance of area equivalent small, medium, and large-scale multithreaded chip multiprocessors (CMTs) using throughput-oriented applications. We use...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
