Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
As processors continue to exploit more instruction level parallelism, a greater demand is placed on reducing the e ects of memory access latency. In this paper, we introduce a nov...
In this paper, fundamental conditions which bound the network processing unit (NPU) worst-case performance are established. In particular, these conditions formalize and integrate...
Abstract— Software routers are becoming an important alternative to proprietary and expensive network devices, because they exploit the economy of scale of the PC market and open...

In many of embedded systems, particularly for those with high data computations, the delay of memory access is one of the major bottlenecks in the system's performance. It ha...
