This paper presents a new method for branch prediction. The key idea is to use one of the simplest possible neural networks, the perceptron as an alternative to the commonly used ...
While there have been several studies and proposals for energy conservation for CPUs and peripherals, energy optimization techniques for selective operating mode control of DRAMs ...

With the increasing clock rate and transistor count of today's microprocessors, power dissipation is becoming a critical component of system design complexity. Thermal and po...
Value prediction is a relatively new technique to increase the Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) in future microprocessors. An important problem when designing a value predictor...

fipical translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)can map a far smaller region of memory than application footprints demand, and the cost of handling TLB misses therefore limits the per...

The memory overhead introduced by directories constitutes a major hurdle in the scalability of cc-NUMA architectures, which makes the shared-memory paradigm unfeasible for very la...
A new memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for compressing main memory contents. MXT effectively doubles the physically available memory. This ...
