The Impact of Data Transfer and Buffering Alternatives on Network Interface Design
The explosive growth in the performance of microprocessors and networks has created a new opportunity to reduce the latency of fine-grain communication. Microprocessor clock speed...

Comparative Evaluation of Latency Tolerance Techniques for Software Distributed Shared Memory
A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...

The Sensitivity of Communication Mechanisms to Bandwidth and Latency
The goal of this paper is to gain insight into the relative performance of communication mechanisms as bisection bandwidth and network latency vary. We compare shared memory with ...

Supporting Highly-Speculative Execution via Adaptive Branch Trees
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...

Speculative Versioning Cache
Dependences among loads and stores whose addresses are unknown hinder the extraction of instruction level parallelism during the execution of a sequential program. Such ambiguous ...

Virtual-Physical Registers
A novel dynamic register renaming approach is proposed in this work. The key idea of the novel scheme is to delay the allocation of physical registers until a late stage in the pi...

Communication Across Fault-Containment Firewalls on the SGI Origin
Scalability and reliability are inseparable in high-performance computing. Fault-isolation through hardware is a popular means of providing reliability. Unfortunately, such isolat...
