Modern computers have taken advantage of the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) available in programs with advances in both architecture and compiler design. Unfortunately, large...
Although they have been the main server technology for many years, multiprocessors are undergoing a renaissance due to multi-core chips and the attractive scalability properties of...
This paper proposes the study of a new computation model that attempts to address the underlying sources of performance degradation (e.g. latency, overhead, and starvation) and th...

We specify a hardware architecture that supports tamper-resistant software by identifying an “idealized” hich gives the abstracted actions available to a single user program. ...

The key to increasing performance without a commensurate increase in power consumption in modern processors lies in increasing both parallelism and core specialization. Core speci...
