Microprocessor clock frequency has improved by nearly 40% annually over the past decade. This improvement has been provided, in equal measure, by smaller technologies and deeper p...

The importance of the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) on system performance is well known. There have been numerous prior efforts addressing TLB design issues for cutting down ...
Many applications written in C allocate memory blocks for their major data structures from the heap space at runtime. The analysis of heap-oriented pointers in such programs is cr...
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

We describe the design, analysis, and performance of an on–line algorithm to dynamically control the frequency/voltage of a Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) microarchitecture. The MC...
