Multicore processors have emerged as a powerful platform on which to efficiently exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP). However, due to Amdahl’s Law, such designs will be incr...
As microprocessor speeds increase, memory bandwidth is increasing y the performance bottleneck for microprocessors. This has occurred because innovation and technological improvem...
An important issue in embedded systems design is the size of programs. As computing devices decrease in size, yet with more and more functions, better code size optimizations are i...
Memory dependence prediction allows out-of-order issue processors to achieve high degrees of instruction level parallelism by issuing load instructions at the earliest time withou...
Silent store instructions write values that exactly match the values that are already stored at the memory address that is being written. A recent study reveals that significant ...
