Electronic photography is gaining parts of the photography market and tends to replace gradually all argentic photography. The combination of digital camera and computer technolog...
Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs) promote software modularity, portability, and flexibility and their use has become widespread. In this paper, we characterize the behavior of f...

Dynamic Zero Compression reduces the energy required for cache accesses by only writing and reading a single bit for every zero-valued byte. This energy-conscious compression is i...
A machine’s performance is the product of its IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) and clock frequency. Recently, Palacharla, Jouppi, and Smith [3] warned that the dynamic instruction s...
An effective method for reducing the effect of load latency in modern processors is data prefetching. One form of data prefetching, stream buffers, has been shown to be particular...
Selective dynamic compilation systems, typically driven by annotations that identify run-time constants, can achieve significant program speedups. However, manually inserting ann...
