The ever-increasing importance of main memory latency and bandwidth is pushing CMPs towards caches with higher capacity and associativity. Associativity is typically improved by in...
For each computer system generation, there are always applications or workloads for which the main memory size is the major limitation. On the other hand, in many cases, one could...
Performance improvement solely through transistor scaling is becoming more and more difficult, thus it is increasingly common to see domain specific accelerators used in conjunc...
