One way to exploit Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) is to use architectures that implement novel multithreaded execution models, like Scheduled DataFlow (SDF). This latter model pro...
In order to address the high performance I/O needs of HPC and enterprise applications, modern interconnection fabrics, such as InfiniBand and more recently, 10GigE, rely on network...
In current Chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), a significant portion of the die is consumed by the last-level cache. Until recently, the balance of cache and core space has been primari...
