Massively parallel distributed-memory architectures are receiving increasing attention to meet the increasing demand on processing power. Many topologies have been proposed for int...
The use of access predictors to improve storage device performance has been investigated for both improving access times, as well as a means of reducing energy consumed by the dis...
