DRAM memory is a major resource shared among cores in a chip multiprocessor (CMP) system. Memory requests from different threads can interfere with each other. Existing memory acc...
The recent design shift towards multicore processors has spawned a significant amount of research in the area of program parallelization. The future abundance of cores on a singl...

Addresses suffering from cache misses typically exhibit repetitive patterns due to the temporal locality inherent in the access stream. However, we observe that the number of inte...
Process variations will greatly impact the stability, leakage power consumption, and performance of future microprocessors. These variations are especially detrimental to 6T SRAM ...
