Input/output subsystem performance is currently receiving considerable research attention. Signi cant e ort has been focused on reducing average I/O response times and increasing ...
As disk arrays become widely used, tools for understanding and analyzing their performance become increasingly important. In particular, performance models can be invaluable in bo...
FBRAM, a new form of dynamic random access memory that greatly accelerates the rendering of Z-buffered primitives, is presented. Two key concepts make this acceleration possible. ...

In this paper, we propose a multithreaded processor architecture which improves machine throughput. In our processor architecture, instructions from different threads (not a singl...
As multiprocessor sizes scale and computer architects turn to interconnection networks with non-uniform communication latencies, the lure of exploiting communication locality to i...
