With the prevalence of server blades and systems-ona-chip (SoCs), interconnection networks are becoming an important part of the microprocessor landscape. However, there is limite...
There has been much discussion about the best way to combine the benefits of new optical circuit switching technology with the established packet switched Internet. In this paper,...
The key issues for register file design in high-performance processors are access time and energy. While previous work has focused on reducing the number of registers, we propose...
Data prefetching effectively reduces the negative effects of long load latencies on the performance of modern processors. Hardware prefetchers employ hardware structures to predic...
