Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploiting profile information in adaptive systems such as just-in-time compilers, dynamic optimizers and, binary translators. In th...
Branch prediction is an important mechanism in modern microprocessor design. The focus of research in this area has been on designing new branch prediction schemes. In contrast, v...
This paper describes Shasta, a system that supports a shared address space in software on clusters of computers with physically distributed memory. A unique aspect of Shasta compa...
