Computer systems increasingly rely on dynamic, phasebased system management techniques, in which system hardware and software parameters may be altered or tuned at runtime for dif...
As silicon technologies move into the nanometer regime, transistor reliability is expected to wane as devices become subject to extreme process variation, particle-induced transie...

Allowing loads to issue out-of-order with respect to earlier unresolved store addresses is very important for extracting parallelism in large-window superscalar processors. Blindl...
As increasingly larger memories are used to bridge the widening gap between processor and disk speeds, main memory energy consumption is becoming increasingly dominant. Even thoug...
Cyber theft is a serious threat to Internet security. It is one of the major security concerns by both network service providers and Internet users. Though sensitive information c...

Hardware counters are a fundamental building block of modern high-performance processors. This paper explores two applications of probabilistic counter updates, in which the outpu...
The increasing demand for reliable computers has led to proposals for hardware-assisted rollback of memory state. Such approach promises major reductions in Mean Time To Repair (M...
