Abstract—Transactional memory promises to generalize transactional programming to mainstream languages and data structures. The purported benefit of transactions is that they ar...
The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
The disparity between microprocessor clock frequencies and memory latency is a primary reason why many demanding applications run well below peak achievable performance. Software c...
