Abstract--The centralized structures necessary for the extraction of instruction-level parallelism (ILP) are consuming progressively smaller portions of the total die area of chip ...
—With increasing numbers of cores, future CMPs (Chip Multi-Processors) are likely to have a tiled architecture with a portion of shared L2 cache on each tile and a bankinterleave...
Abstract. Current trends in CMPs indicate that the core count will increase in the near future. One of the main performance limiters of these forthcoming microarchitectures is the ...
Ring interconnects may be an attractive solution for future chip multiprocessors because they can enable faster links than buses and simpler switches than arbitrary switched inter...
Transactional Coherence and Consistency (TCC) is a novel coherence scheme for shared memory multiprocessors that uses programmer-defined transactions as the fundamental unit of p...
