Abstract—This paper addresses the problem of execution time estimation for tasks in a software pipeline independent of the application structure or the underlying architecture. A...
The recent paradigm shift to multi-core systems results in high system throughput within a specified power budget. However, future systems still require good single thread perfor...
In computer architecture, caches have primarily been viewed as a means to hide memory latency from the CPU. Cache policies have focused on anticipating the CPU’s data needs, and...
