Reaping the Benefit of Temporal Silence to Improve Communication Performance
Communication misses--those serviced by dirty data in remote caches--are a pressing performance limiter in shared-memory multiprocessors. Recent research has indicated that tempor...

A Comparative Survey of Load Speculation Architectures
Load latency remains a signi cant bottleneck in dynamically scheduled pipelined processors. Load speculation techniques have been proposed to reduce this latency. Dependence Predi...
