Interprocessor synchronization, while extremely important for ensuring execution correctness, can be very costly in terms of both power and performance overheads. Unfortunately, m...
Continuing advances in semiconductor technology and demand for higher performance will lead to more powerful, superpipelined and wider issue processors. Instruction caches in such ...
Register files are in the critical path of most high-performance processors and their latency is one of the most important factors that limit their size. Our goal is to develop er...

With technology scaling, power dissipation and localized heating in global and semi-global bus wires are becoming increasingly important, and this necessitates the development of ...
In this paper we compare the performance of area equivalent small, medium, and large-scale multithreaded chip multiprocessors (CMTs) using throughput-oriented applications. We use...
