Exploiting program cyclic behavior to reduce memory latency in embedded processors
In this work we modify the conventional row buffer allocation mechanism used in DDR2 SDRAM banks to improve average memory latency and overall processor performance. Our method as...

Safely exploiting multithreaded processors to tolerate memory latency in real-time systems
A coarse-grain multithreaded processor can effectively hide long memory latencies by quickly switching to an alternate task when the active task issues a memory request, improving...

Exploiting access semantics and program behavior to reduce snoop power in chip multiprocessors
Integrating more processor cores on-die has become the unanimous trend in the microprocessor industry. Most of the current research thrusts using chip multiprocessors (CMPs) as th...

Hardware-only stream prefetching and dynamic access ordering
Memory system bottlenecks limit performance for many applications, and computations with strided access patterns are among the hardest hit. The streams used in such applications h...

Exploiting shared scratch pad memory space in embedded multiprocessor systems
In this paper, we present a compiler strategy to optimize data accesses in regular array-intensive applications running on embedded multiprocessor environments. Specifically, we p...
