Multiple memory models have been proposed to capture the effects of memory hierarchy culminating in the I-O model of Aggarwal and Vitter [?]. More than a decade of architectural a...
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...
Heterogeneous multi-core and streaming architectures such as the GPU, Cell, ClearSpeed, and Imagine processors have better power/ performance ratios and memory bandwidth than tradi...
Communicationin aparallel systemfrequently involvesmoving data from the memory of one node to the memory of another; this is the standard communication model employedin message pa...
As processor speeds increase relative to memory speeds, memory bandwidth is rapidly becoming the limiting performance factor for many applications. Several approaches to bridging ...
Information on the behavior of programs is essential for deciding the number and nature of functional units in high performance architectures. In this paper, we present studies on...

The computing community has long faced the problem of scientifically comparing different computers and different algorithms. When architecture, method, precision, or storage capac...
The growing disparity between processor and memory speeds has caused memory bandwidth to become the performance bottleneck for many applications. In particular, this performance ga...
The memory bandwidth largely determines the performance and energy cost of embedded systems. At the compiler level, several techniques improve the memory bandwidth at the scope of...
