Branch mispredictions are a major obstacle to exploiting instruction-level parallelism, at least in part because all instructions after a mispredicted branch are squashed. However...
This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecturethat implements coherentsharedmemorythrou...
Abstract. Memory accesses contribute sunstantially to aggregate system delays. It is critical for designers to ensure that the memory subsystem is designed efficiently, and much wo...
