Measurements of an off-the-shelf DRAM chip confirm that different cells retain information for different amounts of time. This result extends to DRAM rows, or pages (retention tim...
The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
Modern out-of-order processors tolerate long latency memory operations by supporting a large number of inflight instructions. This is particularly useful in numerical applications...
