Symmetry and performance in consistency protocols
A consistency protocol can be termed symmetric if all processors are treated identically when they access common resources. By contrast, asymmetric protocols usually assign a home...

Reducing cache misses using hardware and software page placement
As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache efficiency is an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have been...

Reorganizing global schedules for register allocation
Instruction scheduling is an important compiler technique for exploiting more instruction-level parallelism (ILP) in high-performance microprocessors, and in this paper, we study ...

Improving memory hierarchy performance for irregular applications
The performance of irregular applications on modern computer systems is hurt by the wide gap between CPU and memory speeds because these applications typically underutilize multi-...

An experimental evaluation of tiling and shackling for memory hierarchy management
On modern computers, the performance of programs is often limited by memory latency rather than by processor cycle time. To reduce the impact of memory latency, the restructuring ...
