Fast cluster failover using virtual memory-mapped communication
This paper proposes a novel way to use virtual memorymapped communication (VMMC) to reduce the failover time on clusters. With the VMMC model, applications’ virtual address spac...

Adapting cache line size to application behavior
A cache line size has a signi cant e ect on missrate and memorytra c. Today's computers use a xed line size, typically 32B, which may not be optimalfor a given application. O...

Improving virtual function call target prediction via dependence-based pre-computation
We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...

Classifying load and store instructions for memory renaming
Memory operations remain a significant bottleneck in dynamically scheduled pipelined processors, due in part to the inability to statically determine the existence of memory addr...
