Piecewise linear branch predictor has been demonstrated to have superior prediction accuracy; however, its huge hardware overhead prevents the predictor from being practical in the...
Current efficient planners employ an informed search guided by a heuristic function that is quite expensive to compute. Thus, ordering nodes in the search tree becomes a key issue,...
This paper presents the design and implementation of XenSocket, a UNIX-domain-socket-like construct for high-throughput interdomain (VM-to-VM) communication on the same system. The...
This paper explores statistical simulation as a fast simulation technique for driving chip multiprocessor (CMP) design space exploration. The idea of statistical simulation is to ...
Distinguishing transient blocks from frequently used blocks enables servicing references to transient blocks from a small fully-associative auxiliary cache structure. By inserting...
