Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...
In a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system, the DRAM system is shared among cores. In a shared DRAM system, requests from a thread can not only delay requests from other threads by cau...
Asymmetric (or Heterogeneous) Multiprocessors are becoming popular in the current era of multi-cores due to their power efficiency and potential performance and energy efficienc...
