PIPP: promotion/insertion pseudo-partitioning of multi-core shared caches
Many multi-core processors employ a large last-level cache (LLC) shared among the multiple cores. Past research has demonstrated that sharing-oblivious cache management policies (...

Improving Scalability and Per-Core Performance in Multi-Cores through Resource Sharing and Reconfiguration
Increasing the number of cores in a multi-core processor reduces per-core performance. On the other hand, providing more resources to each core limits the number of cores on a chi...

Federation: repurposing scalar cores for out-of-order instruction issue
Future SoCs will contain multiple cores. For workloads with significant parallelism, prior work has shown the benefit of many small, multi-threaded, scalar cores. For workloads th...
