A majority of the papers published in leading computer architecture conferences use SPEC CPU2000, or its predecessor SPEC CPU95, which has become the de facto standard for measuri...
Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction, and executes speculatively its data-dependent instructions based on ...
The paper presents PowerMANNA - a distributed-memory parallel computer system based on the 64-Bit PowerPC processor MPC620. The PowerMANNA node architecture supports all the sophi...
A new memory subsystem called Memory Expansion Technology (MXT) has been built for compressing main memory contents. MXT effectively doubles the physically available memory. This ...
