Aggressive prefetching is very beneficial for memory latency tolerance of many applications. However, it faces significant challenges in multi-core systems. Prefetchers of diff...
Multicore processors have become ubiquitous in today’s systems, but exploiting the parallelism they offer remains difficult, especially for legacy application and applications ...
Efficient use of the memory hierarchy is critical for achieving high performance in a multiprocessor systemon-chip. An external memory that is shared between processors is a bottl...
