As transistor process technology approaches the nanometer scale, process variation significantly affects the design and optimization of high performance microprocessors. Prior stu...
—CPR (Checkpoint Processing and Recovery) is a physical register management scheme that supports a larger instruction window and higher average IPC than conventional ROB-style re...
While microprocessor designers turn to multicore architectures to sustain performance expectations, the dramatic increase in parallelism of such architectures will put substantial...

Detecting data races in parallel programs is important for both software development and production-run diagnosis. Recently, there have been several proposals for hardware-assiste...
Recently, multi-core architectures with alternative memory subsystem designs have emerged. Instead of using hardwaremanaged cache hierarchies, they employ software-managed embedde...
