Performance and Power Impact of Issue-width in Chip-Multiprocessor Cores
In chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), the number of cores and the issue width of each core presents an important design trade-off to balance the amount of TLP and ILP between multi-thre...

Using Switch Directories to Speed Up Cache-to-Cache Transfers in CC-NUMA Multiprocessors
In this paper, we propose a novel hardware caching technique, called switch directory, to reduce the communication latency in CC-NUMA multiprocessors. The main idea is to implemen...
