As microprocessor speeds increase, memory bandwidth is increasing y the performance bottleneck for microprocessors. This has occurred because innovation and technological improvem...
In this paper we describe a new technique, called pipeline spectroscopy, and use it to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogra...

We present a methodology for off-chip memory bandwidth minimization through application-driven L2 cache partitioning in multicore systems. A major challenge with multi-core system...
As the geometry shrinking faces severe limitations, 3D wafer stacking with through silicon via (TSV) has gained interest for future SOC integration. Since TSV fill material and s...
While medium- and large-sized computing centers have increasingly relied on clusters of commodity PC hardware to provide cost-effective capacity and capability, it is not clear th...
