Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is used as the bulk of the main memory in most computing systems and its energy and power consumption has become a first-class design considera...
Aggressive prefetching is very beneficial for memory latency tolerance of many applications. However, it faces significant challenges in multi-core systems. Prefetchers of diff...
Building an optimising compiler is a difficult and time consuming task which must be repeated for each generation of a microprocessor. As the underlying microarchitecture changes...
