Current trends suggest that the number of memory chips per processor chip will increase at least a factor of ten in seven years. This will make DRAM cost, the space and the power i...
During a program’s runtime, the stack and data segments of the main memory often contain much redundancy, which makes them good candidates for compression. Compression and decomp...
Abstract. Many applications with large data spaces that cannot run on a typical workstation (due to page faults) call for techniques to expand the effective memory size. One such t...
High-performance out-of-order processors spend a significant portion of their execution time on the incorrect program path even though they employ aggressive branch prediction al...

The ever increasing gap in processor and memory speeds has a very negative impact on performance. One possible solution to overcome this problem is the Kilo-instruction processor. ...
