Multithreaded architectures context switch between instruction streams to hide memory access latency. Although this improves processor utilization, it can increase cache interfere...
In the near future, semiconductor technology will allow the integration of multiple processors on a chip or multichipmodule (MCM). In this paper we investigate the architecture an...
Today's commodity microprocessors require a low latency memory system to achieve high sustained performance. The conventional high-performance memory system provides fast dat...
This paper presents an examination of different cache and processor configurations assuming transistor densities will continue to increase as they have in the past. While in the s...
