Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is a technology aimed at improving the throughput of the processor core by applying Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) and Thread Level Parallel...
Caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures to hide, in part, the increasing gap between processor speed and memory access times. While the effect of caches on timi...
As CMP platforms are widely adopted, more and more cores are integrated on to the die. To reduce the off-chip memory access, the last level cache is usually organized as a distribu...
Today, mobile smartphones are expected to be able to run the same complex, memory-intensive applications that were originally designed and coded for general-purpose processors. Ho...
The J2EE platform provides a variety of options for making business data persistent using DBMS technology. However, the integration with existing backend database systems has prov...
