A Burst Scheduling Access Reordering Mechanism
Utilizing the nonuniform latencies of SDRAM devices, access reordering mechanisms alter the sequence of main memory access streams to reduce the observed access latency. Using a r...

A Memory-Level Parallelism Aware Fetch Policy for SMT Processors
A thread executing on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor that experiences a long-latency load will eventually stall while holding execution resources. Existing long-lat...

Line Distillation: Increasing Cache Capacity by Filtering Unused Words in Cache Lines
Caches are organized at a line-size granularity to exploit spatial locality. However, when spatial locality is low, many words in the cache line are not used. Unused words occupy ...
