—In this paper we examine techniques for increasing the effective bandwidth of the microprocessor offchip interconnect. We focus on mechanisms that are orthogonal to other techni...
As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...
We are currently developing Willow, a shared-memory multiprocessor whose design provides system capacity and performance capable of supporting over a thousand commercial microproc...

Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) processors improve the instruction throughput by allowing fetching and running instructions from several threads simultaneously at a single cycle....
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are becoming increasingly popular as they enable users to exchange digital information by participating in complex networks. Such systems are inexpensiv...
