Reducing the Scheduling Critical Cycle Using Wakeup Prediction
For highest performance, a modern microprocessor must be able to determine if an instruction is ready in the same cycle in which it is to be selected for execution. This creates a...

Improving Disk Throughput in Data-Intensive Servers
Low disk throughput is one of the main impediments to improving the performance of data-intensive servers. In this paper, we propose two management techniques for the disk control...

Understanding Scheduling Replay Schemes
Modern microprocessors adopt speculative scheduling techniques where instructions are scheduled several clock cycles before they actually execute. Due to this scheduling delay, sc...

Signature Buffer: Bridging Performance Gap between Registers and Caches
Data communications between producer instructions and consumer instructions through memory incur extra delays that degrade processor performance. In this paper, we introduce a new...
