In the last years high performance processor designs have evolved toward Chip-Multiprocessor (CMP) architectures that implement multiple processing cores on a single die. As the nu...
We are currently developing Willow, a shared-memory multiprocessor whose design provides system capacity and performance capable of supporting over a thousand commercial microproc...

Advances in circuit and integration technology are continuously boosting the speed of microprocessors. One of the main challenges presented by such developments is the effective u...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
In this paper we propose a simple extension to the I/O architecture of scalable multiprocessors that optimizes page swap-outs significantly. More specifically, we propose the use o...
