In this paper we explore software-managed address translation. The purpose of the study is to specify the memory management design for a high clock-rate PowerPC implementation in ...
— Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors (HMPs), such as the Cell Broadband Engine, offer a new design optimization opportunity by allowing designers to provide accelerators for appl...
The general-purpose precise interrupt mechanism, which has long been used to handle exceptional conditions that occur infrequently, is now being used increasingly often to handle ...
User-level communication alleviates the software overhead of the communication subsystem by allowing applications to access the network interface directly. For that purpose, effici...
Today, network address translators, or NATs, are everywhere. Their ubiquitous adoption was not promoted by design or planning but by the continued growth of the Internet, which pl...
