Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
Abstract. Threads experiencing long-latency loads on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor may clog shared processor resources without making forward progress, thereby star...

Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...
The effective use of processor caches is crucial to the performance of applications. It has been shown that cache misses are not evenly distributed throughout a program. In applic...
