Hardware transactional memory has great potential to simplify the creation of correct and efficient multithreaded programs, allowing programmers to exploit more effectively the s...

The negative performance impact of branch mis-predictions can be reduced by exploiting control independence (CI). When a branch mis-predicts, the wrong-path instructions up to the...
With increasing speed and power density, high-performance memories, including FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) and DDR2 DRAM, now begin to require dynamic thermal management (DTM) a...

We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

We have studied DRAM-level prefetching for the fully buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) designed for multi-core processors. FB-DIMM has a unique two-level interconnect structure, with FB-DIM...
