Real-time Java is becoming a viable platform for real-time applications, bringing new challenges to a garbage collector. A real-time collector has to be incremental as not to caus...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
The floating point portion of the SPEC CPU suite and the HPC Challenge suite are widely recognized and utilized as benchmarks that represent scientific application behavior. In th...
—Caches are commonly employed to hide the latency gap between memory and the CPU by exploiting locality in memory accesses. The cache performance strongly influences a system’...
It is well recognized that LRU cache-line replacement can be ineffective for applications with large working sets or non-localized memory access patterns. Specifically, in lastle...
