Abstract—Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) present a unique scenario for software data prefetching with subtle tradeoffs between memory bandwidth and performance. In a shared L2 based ...
This paper proposes a dynamic cache repartitioning technique that enhances compositionality on platforms executing media applications with multiple utilization scenarios. The repa...

Next generation tiled microarchitectures are going to be limited by off-chip misses and by on-chip network usage. Furthermore, these platforms will run an heterogeneous mix of ap...
— Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors (HMPs), such as the Cell Broadband Engine, offer a new design optimization opportunity by allowing designers to provide accelerators for appl...
