Modern processors attempt to overcome increasing memory latencies by anticipating future references and prefetching those blocks from memory. The behavior and possible negative si...

To meet the demand for more powerful high-performance shared-memory servers, multiprocessor systems must incorporate efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols, such as thos...
Most large shared-memory multiprocessors use directory protocols to keep per-processor caches coherent. Some memory references in such systems, however, suffer long latencies for ...
The ever increasing gap between processor and memory speed, sometimes referred to as the Memory Wall problem [42], has a very negative impact on performance. This mismatch will be...
This paper examines the performance of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) for network servers using actual hardware, multiple network server applications, and several workloads. Us...
