Performance evaluation using only a subset of programs from a benchmark suite is commonplace in computer architecture research. This is especially true during early design space e...
A significant part of future microprocessor real estate will be dedicated to L2 or L3 caches. These on-chip caches will heavily impact processor performance, power dissipation, a...
Having a representative workload of the target domain of a microprocessor is extremely important throughout its design. The composition of a workload involves two issues: (i) whic...
