Amdahl's Law in the multicore era
We apply Amdahl's Law to multicore chips using symmetric cores, asymmetric cores, and dynamic techniques that allows cores to work together on sequential execution. To Amdahl...

Supporting highly-decoupled thread-level redundancy for parallel programs
The continued scaling of device dimensions and the operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can p...

Fundamental performance constraints in horizontal fusion of in-order cores
A conceptually appealing approach to supporting a broad range of workloads is a system comprising many small cores that can be fused, on demand, into larger cores. We demonstrate ...

DeCoR: A Delayed Commit and Rollback mechanism for handling inductive noise in processors
Increases in peak current draw and reductions in the operating voltages of processors continue to amplify the importance of dealing with voltage fluctuations in processors. Noise-...

Performance-aware speculation control using wrong path usefulness prediction
Fetch gating mechanisms have been proposed to gate the processor pipeline to reduce the wasted energy consumption due to wrongpath (i.e. mis-speculated) instructions. These scheme...
