The assumption of task independence has long been consubstantial with the formulation of many schedulability analysis techniques. That assumption is evidently advantageous for the...
Recent studies on program execution behavior reveal that a large amount of execution time is spent in small frequently executed regions of code. Whereas adaptive cache management ...

In this paper we present a performance study of memory reference behavior in network protocol processing, using an Internet-based protocol stack implemented in the x-kernel runnin...

Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is emerging as an effective microarchitecture model to increase the utilization of resources in modern super-scalar processors. However, co-sched...
Caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures to hide, in part, the increasing gap between processor speed and memory access times. While the effect of caches on timi...
