The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
Previous studies have shown that object-oriented programs have different execution characteristics than procedural programs, and that special object-oriented hardware can improve p...
Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...
