Memory accesses have always been a speed-limiting factor, and memory bandwidth has always been an intensively contended scarce resource. Nevertheless, with recent pervasive emergen...
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor directly affects its performance. Thus, several attempts have been made to relax the consistency models to allow for mor...

The architecture for a shared memory CPU is described. The CPU allows for parallelism down to the level of single instructions and is tolerant of memory latency. All executable in...
Improving memory performance at software level is more effective in reducing the rapidly expanding gap between processor and memory performance. Loop transformations (e.g. loop un...

: In scalable parallel machines, processors can make local memory accesses much faster than they can make remote memory accesses. In addition, when a number of remote accesses must...
The large latency of memory accesses is a major obstacle in obtaining high processor utilization in large scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Access to remote memory is likely to ...

In Layer Four switching, the route and resources allocated to a packet are determined by the destination address as well as other header elds of the packet such as source address,...

We propose a technique for reducing the energy required by rmware code to execute on embedded systems. The method is based on the idea of compressing the most commonly executed in...

In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
Abstract—A major issue in router design for the next generation Internet is the fast IP address lookup mechanism. The existing scheme by Huang et al. performs the IP address look...
