If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
Chip Multi-Threaded (CMT) processors provide support for many simultaneous hardware threads of execution in various ways, including Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) and Chip Mult...
Memory system optimizations have been well studied on single-threaded systems; however, the wide use of simultaneous multithreading (SMT) techniques raises questions over their ef...
With technology scaling, power dissipation and localized heating in global and semi-global bus wires are becoming increasingly important, and this necessitates the development of ...
Many important applications exhibit large amounts of data parallelism, and modern computer systems are designed to take advantage of it. While much of the computation in the multi...
