Modern microprocessors adopt speculative scheduling techniques where instructions are scheduled several clock cycles before they actually execute. Due to this scheduling delay, sc...
Data communications between producer instructions and consumer instructions through memory incur extra delays that degrade processor performance. In this paper, we introduce a new...
Multi-threaded commercial workloads implement many important internet services. Consequently, these workloads are increasingly used to evaluate the performance of uniprocessor and...
With the constant advances in technology that lead to the increasing of the transistor count and processor frequency, power dissipation is becoming one of the major issues in high...
A challenging issue in today's server systems is to transparently deal with failures and application-imposed requirements for continuous operation. In this paper we address t...
