Abstract. Pebble is a simple language designed to improve the productivity and effectiveness of hardware design. It improves productivity by adopting reusable word-level and bit-le...
This paper discusses the memory interface of custom computing machines. We present a high speed parallel memory for the MoM-PDA machine, which is based on the Xputer paradigm. The ...

The readily available performance advantages, gained in early virtual circuitry systems, are being recouped following advances in general purpose processor architectures and have ...
This paper presents cooperative prefetching and caching — the use of network-wide global resources (memories, CPUs, and disks) to support prefetching and caching in the presence...

Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...

We consider the problem of scheduling tasks with unpredictable service times on distinct processing nodes so as to meet a real-time deadline, given that all communication among no...
In many real applications, for example those with frequent and irregular communication patterns or those using large messages, network contention and contention for message proces...
While much work has been devoted to the study of cache behavior during the execution of codes with regular access patterns, little attention has been paid to irregular codes. An i...

One role for workload generation is as a means for understanding how servers and networks respond to variation in load. This enables management and capacity planning based on curr...
