As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance o...
Power-aware processors operate in various power modes to reduce energy consumption with a corresponding decrease in peak processor throughput. Recent work has shown power-aware cl...
As microprocessor designs continue to evolve, many optimizations reach a point of diminishing returns. We introduce HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models...
Symbiotic job scheduling boosts simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor performance by co-scheduling jobs that have ‘compatible’ demands on the processor’s shared resour...
Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
