Cache locality optimization is an efficient way for reducing the idle time of modern processors in waiting for needed data. This kind of optimization can be achieved either on the...
RENO is a modified MIPS R10000 register renamer that uses map-table “short-circuiting” to implement dynamic versions of several well-known static optimizations: move eliminat...
Disk power management is becoming increasingly important in high-end server and cluster type of environments that execute dataintensive applications. While hardware-only approache...
The decision tree is one of the most fundamental ing abstractions. A commonly used type of decision tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) &quo...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
