We extend a torus-based coterie structure for distributed mutual exclusion to allow k multiple entries in a critical section. In the original coterie, the system nodes are logical...
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...

With aggressive superscalar processors delivering diminishing returns, alternate designs that make good use of the increasing chip densities are actively being explored. One such ...
The overhead of copying data through the central processor by a message passing protocol limits data transfer bandwidth. If the network interface directly transfers the user'...
