Traditionally, cache coherence in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the ...
Pre-execution attacks cache misses for which conventional address-prediction driven prefetching is ineffective. In pre-execution, copies of cache miss computations are isolated fr...
Traditional list schedulers order instructions based on an optimistic estimate of the load latency imposed by the hardware and therefore cannot respond to variations in memory lat...
Good spatial locality alleviates both the latency and bandwidth problem of memory by boosting the effect of prefetching and improving the utilization of cache. However, convention...

As the number of transistors integrated on a chip continues to increase, a growing challenge is accurately modeling performance in the early stages of processor design. Analytical...
