Efficient Superscalar Performance Through Boosting
The foremost goal of superscalar processor design is to increase performance through the exploitation of instruction-level parallelism (ILP). Previous studies have shown that spec...

Closing the Window of Vulnerability in Multiphase Memory Transactions
Multiprocessor architects have begun to explore several mechanisms such as prefetching, context-switching and software-assisted dynamic cache-coherence, which transform single-pha...

Parity Declustering for Continuous Operation in Redundant Disk Arrays
We describe and evaluate a strategy for declustering the parity encoding in a redundant disk array. This declustered parity organization balances cost against data reliability and...

Application-Controlled Physical Memory using External Page-Cache Management
Next generation computer systems will have gigabytes of physical memory and processors in the 200 MIPS range or higher. While this trend suggests that memory management for most p...

Access Normalization: Loop Restructuring for NUMA Compilers
: In scalable parallel machines, processors can make local memory accesses much faster than they can make remote memory accesses. In addition, when a number of remote accesses must...

Non-Volatile Memory for Fast, Reliable File Systems
Given the decreasing cost of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), by the late 1990's it will be feasible for most workstations to include a megabyte or more of NVRAM, enabling the desig...
