—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
We introduce a software/hardware scheme called the Field Array Compression Technique (FACT) which reduces cache misses due to recursive data structures. Using a data layout transfo...
In this paper, we propose a new, efficient logging protocol, called lazy logging, and a fast crash recovery protocol, called the prefetch-based crash recovery (PCR), for software ...
—Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a superscalar microprocessor. We develop a mathematical model for three different cache techniques and evaluate its perfor...
