Information integrity in cache memories is a fundamental requirement for dependable computing. Conventional architectures for enhancing cache reliability using check codes make it...
Branch mispredictions are a major obstacle to exploiting instruction-level parallelism, at least in part because all instructions after a mispredicted branch are squashed. However...
To execute a shared memory program efficiently, we have to manage memory consistency with low overheads, and have to utilize communication bandwidth of the platform as much as pos...
