Cache partitioning and sharing is critical to the effective utilization of multicore processors. However, almost all existing studies have been evaluated by simulation that often ...
A path confidence estimate indicates the likelihood that the processor is currently fetching correct path instructions. Accurate path confidence prediction is critical for applica...
A conceptually appealing approach to supporting a broad range of workloads is a system comprising many small cores that can be fused, on demand, into larger cores. We demonstrate ...
