In the recent years, power consumption has become increasingly an important design concern as silicon area and performance in modern computer systems design. Several factors have ...
Most recent embedded systems use caches to improve their average performance. Current timing analyses are able to compute safe timing guarantees for these systems, if tasks are ru...
Most modern RDBMS depend on the query processing optimizer’s cost model to choose the best execution plan for a given query. Since the physical IO (PIO) is a costly operation to...
Heterogeneous multicores, such as Cell BE processors and GPGPUs, typically do not have caches for their accelerator cores because coherence traffic, cache misses, and latencies fr...
Caches are designed to provide the best tradeoff between access speed and capacity for a set of target applications. Unfortunately, different applications, and even different phas...
