A first glance at Kilo-instruction based multiprocessors
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...

Avoiding Initialization Misses to the Heap
This paper investigates a class of main memory accesses (invalid memory traffic) that can be eliminated altogether. Invalid memory traffic is real data traffic that transfers inva...

Revisiting Cache Block Superloading
Abstract. Technological advances and increasingly complex and dynamic application behavior argue for revisiting mechanisms that adapt logical cache block size to application charac...

Multiple-banked register file architectures
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...

The impact of wrong-path memory references in cache-coherent multiprocessor systems
The core of current-generation high-performance multiprocessor systems is out-of-order execution processors with aggressive branch prediction. Despite their relatively high branch...
