High associativity is important for level-two cache designs [9]. Implementing CAM-based Highly Associative Caches (CAM-HAC), however, is both costly in hardware and exhibits poor s...
The transition to multicore architectures has dramatically underscored the necessity for parallelism in software. In particular, while new gaming consoles are by and large multicor...

Software inspection helps to improve the quality of software products early in the development process. For design inspection recent research showed that usage-based reading of doc...
For the problem of online real-time scheduling of jobs on a single processor, previous work presents matching upper and lower bounds on the competitive ratio that can be achieved ...
Modern microprocessors employ increasingly complicated branch predictors to achieve instruction fetch bandwidth that is sufficient for wide out-of-order execution cores. While ex...
