In recent years, processor manufacturers have converged on two types of register file architectures. Both IBM with its POWER series and Intel with its Pentium series are using a ...
Previous proposals for power-aware thread-level parallelism on chip multiprocessors (CMPs) mostly focus on multiprogrammed workloads. Nonetheless, parallel computation of a single...
Tens and eventually hundreds of processing cores are projected to be integrated onto future microprocessors, making the global interconnect a key component to achieving scalable c...
