In chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), the number of cores and the issue width of each core presents an important design trade-off to balance the amount of TLP and ILP between multi-thre...
This paper examines the performance of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) for network servers using actual hardware, multiple network server applications, and several workloads. Us...

Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wire...
Powering down SDRAMs at run-time reduces memory energy consumption significantly, but often at the cost of performance. If employed speculatively with real-time memory controller...
