Semiconductor transient faults (i.e. soft errors) have become an increasingly important threat to microprocessor reliability. Simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) architectures exploi...
The ongoing trend of increasing computer hardware and software complexity has resulted in the increase in complexity and overheads of cycle-accurate processor system simulation, e...

Recent research advocates address-correlating predictors to identify cache block addresses for prefetch. Unfortunately, address-correlating predictors require correlation data sto...
This paper proposes the use of microprocessor performance counters for online measurement of complete system power consumption. While past studies have demonstrated the use of per...
Virtualization is an essential technology in modern datacenters. Despite advantages such as security isolation, fault isolation, and environment isolation, current virtualization ...

In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
—Although SIMD extensions are a cost effective way to exploit the data level parallelism present in most media applications, we will show that they had have a very limited memory...
