— Implementing shared memory consistency models on top of hardware caches gives rise to the well-known cache coherence problem. The standard solution involves implementing cohere...
We suggest a new technique to reduce energy consumption in the processor datapath without sacrificing performance by exploiting operand value locality at run time. Data locality is...
Parallel disks provide a cost effective way of speeding up I/Os in applications that work with large amounts of data. The main challenge is to achieve as much parallelism as poss...
