This paper presents a new technique for efficient usage of small trace caches. A trace cache can significantly increase the performance of wide out-oforder processors, but to be e...
Multi-core processors have become an integral part of mainstream high performance computer systems. In parallel, exponentially increasing power density and packaging costs have ne...
Multi-lane vector processors achieve excellent computational throughput for programs with high data-level parallelism (DLP). However, application phases without significant DLP ar...
: Software cache coherence schemes are very desirable in the design of scalable multiprocessors and massively parallel processors. The authors propose a software cache coherence sc...
