Allocation-phase aware thread scheduling policies to improve garbage collection performance
Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...

Code and Data Transformations for Improving Shared Cache Performance on SMT Processors
Simultaneous multithreaded processors use shared on-chip caches, which yield better cost-performance ratios. Sharing a cache between simultaneously executing threads causes excessi...
