Optimizations aimed at reducing the impact of memory operations on execution speed have long concentrated on improving cache performance. These efforts achieve a reasonable level...
We introduce virtually-pipelined memory, an architectural technique that efficiently supports high-bandwidth, uniform latency memory accesses, and high-confidence throughput eve...
Abstract—Resizable caches can trade-off capacity for access speed to dynamically match the needs of the workload. In Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) cores, the caching needs ca...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
The ever increasing gap in processor and memory speeds has a very negative impact on performance. One possible solution to overcome this problem is the Kilo-instruction processor. ...
