This paper explores a new technique called coherence decoupling, which breaks a traditional cache coherence protocol into two protocols: a Speculative Cache Lookup (SCL) protocol ...
Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) processors are a promising future alternative to today’s fully synchronous designs. Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) in an MCD processor ...

Maintenance is the dominant source of downtime at high availability sites. Unfortunately, the dominant mechanism for reducing this downtime, cluster rolling upgrade, has two short...
Increased integration in the form of multiple processor cores on a single die, relatively constant die sizes, shrinking power envelopes, and emerging applications create a new cha...
