Program-counter-based (PC-based) prediction techniques have been shown to be highly effective and are widely used in computer architecture design. In this paper, we explore the op...
Modern superscalar processors implement precise interrupts by using the Reorder Buffer (ROB). In some microarchitectures , such as the Intel P6, the ROB also serves as a repositor...

The two main techniques of improving I/O performance of Object Oriented Database Management Systems(OODBMS) are clustering and buffer replacement. Clustering is the placement of o...
In main-memory databases, the number of processor cache misses has a critical impact on the performance of the system. Cacheconscious indices are designed to improve performance b...
