In this paper, we propose Runahead Threads (RaT) as a valuable solution for both reducing resource contention and exploiting memory-level parallelism in Simultaneous Multithreaded...
We study several transparent techniques for scaling dynamic content web sites, and we evaluate their relative impact when used in combination. Full transparency implies strong dat...
With billion-transistor chips on the horizon, single-chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are likely to become commodity components. Speculative CMPs use hardware to enforce dependence, al...
