The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
Low disk throughput is one of the main impediments to improving the performance of data-intensive servers. In this paper, we propose two management techniques for the disk control...
Originally developed to connect processors and memories in multicomputers, prior research and design of interconnection networks have focused largely on performance. As these netw...
As the power consumption of modern highperformance microprocessors increases beyond 100W, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. This paper presents a novel...
This paper advocates that cache coherence protocols use a bandwidth adaptive approach to adjust to varied system configurations (e.g., number of processors) and workload behaviors...
