Cores in a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system share multiple hardware resources in the memory subsystem. If resource sharing is unfair, some applications can be delayed significantl...
Image processing applications tend to access their data non-sequentially and reuse that data infrequently. As a result, they tend to perform poorly on conventional memory systems ...

This paper evaluates performance characteristics of the Compaq ES40 shared memory multiprocessor. The ES40 system contains up to four Alpha 21264 CPU’s together with a high-perf...
With the popularity of multi-core architecture, to sustain the memory demands from different cores, the memory system is expected to grow significantly in both speed and capacit...
Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) memory systems suffer from the effects of destructive thread interference. This interference reduces performance predictability because it depends heavil...
