Recent research shows that the high occupancy of Coherence Controllers (CCs) is a major performance bottleneck in scalable shared-memory multiprocessors. In this paper, we propose...
This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor. The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an aggressiv...
Microprocessor design is undergoing a major paradigm shift towards multi-core designs, in anticipation that future performance gains will come from exploiting threadlevel parallel...
