— This paper demonstrates that the algorithmic performance of end user programs may be greatly affected by the two or three level caching scheme of the processor, and we introduc...
Parameter variation due to manufacturing error will be an unavoidable consequence of technology scaling in future generations. The impact of random variation in physical factors s...

— The design trend towards CMPs has made the simulation of multiprocessor systems a necessity and has also made multiprocessor systems widely available. While a serial multiproce...
Architectures are usually compared by running the same workload on each architecture and comparing performance. When a single compiled binary of a program is executed on many diff...
