In the last years high performance processor designs have evolved toward Chip-Multiprocessor (CMP) architectures that implement multiple processing cores on a single die. As the nu...

Object-oriented programming techniques have been used with great success for some time. But the techniques of object-oriented programming have been largely confined to the single a...
We describe a radically new cache architecture and demonstrate that it offers a huge reduction in cache cost, size and power consumption whilst maintaining performance on a wide ra...
