As processor speeds increase relative to memory speeds, memory bandwidth is rapidly becoming the limiting performance factor for many applications. Several approaches to bridging ...
In this paper we consider several hardware implementations of the general-purpose atomic primitives fetch and Φ, compare and swap, load linked, and store conditionalon large-scal...
—Reducing communication latency, which is a performance bottleneck in optically interconnected multiprocessor systems, is of prominent importance. A conventional approach for est...
The throughput of a multiple-pipelined processor suffers due to lack of sufficient instructions to make multiple pipelines busy and due to delays associated with pipeline depende...
