Gaining insights into multicore cache partitioning: Bridging the gap between simulation and real systems
Cache partitioning and sharing is critical to the effective utilization of multicore processors. However, almost all existing studies have been evaluated by simulation that often ...

Branch-mispredict level parallelism (BLP) for control independence
A microprocessor's performance is fundamentally limited by the rate at which it can resolve branch mispredictions. Control independence (CI) architectures look for useful con...

CMP network-on-chip overlaid with multi-band RF-interconnect
In this paper, we explore the use of multi-band radio frequency interconnect (or RF-I) with signal propagation at the speed of light to provide shortcuts in a many core network-on...

Serializing instructions in system-intensive workloads: Amdahl's Law strikes again
Serializing instructions (SIs), such as writes to control registers, have many complex dependencies, and are difficult to execute out-of-order (OoO). To avoid unnecessary complexi...

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...

An OS-based alternative to full hardware coherence on tiled CMPs
The interconnect mechanisms (shared bus or crossbar) used in current chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) are expected to become a bottleneck that prevents these architectures from scaling...

Performance and power optimization through data compression in Network-on-Chip architectures
The trend towards integrating multiple cores on the same die has accentuated the need for larger on-chip caches. Such large caches are constructed as a multitude of smaller cache ...
