Guaranteeing instruction fetch behavior with a lookahead instruction fetch engine (LIFE)
Instruction fetch behavior has been shown to be very regular and predictable, even for diverse application areas. In this work, we propose the Lookahead Instruction Fetch Engine (...

SRM-buffer: an OS buffer management technique to prevent last level cache from thrashing in multicores
Buffer caches in operating systems keep active file blocks in memory to reduce disk accesses. Related studies have been focused on how to minimize buffer misses and the caused pe...
