Low energy consumption is becoming the primary design consideration for battery-operated and portable embedded systems, such as personal digital assistants, digital still and movi...
—The potential for destructive interference between running processes is increased as Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) share more on-chip resources. We believe that understanding the ...
Any data exchanged between the processor and main memory uses the memory bus, sharing it with data exchanged between I/O devices and main memory. If the processor and a device try...
Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly used to build cost-effective compute clusters. However, contention among processor...
The widespread use of multicore processors has dramatically increased the demands on high bandwidth and large capacity from memory systems. In a conventional DDR2/DDR3 DRAM memory...
