Is your memory hierarchy stop** your microprocessor from performing at the high level it
should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve this problem …

Published in 1996, Richard Jones's Garbage Collection was a milestone in the area of
automatic memory management. Its widely acclaimed successor, The Garbage Collection …

Applications written in unsafe languages like C and C++ are vulnerable to memory errors
such as buffer overflows, dangling pointers, and reads of uninitialized data. Such errors can …

Recent high-performance processors employ sophisticated techniques to overlap and
simultaneously execute multiple computation and memory operations. Intuitively, these …

The CPU cache performance is one of the key issues to efficiency in database systems. It is
reported that cache miss latency takes a half of the execution time in database systems. To …

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple
processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) …

This paper introduces the Irregular Stream Buffer (ISB), a prefetcher that targets irregular
sequences of temporally correlated memory references. The key idea is to use an extra level …

Program execution traces provide the most intimate details of a program's dynamic behavior.
They can be used for program optimization, failure diagnosis, collecting software metrics like …

A program's cache performance can be improved by changing the organization and layout
of its data---even complex, pointer-based data structures. Previous techniques improved the …

This paper presents the gSOAP stub and skeleton compiler. The compiler provides a unique
SOAP-to-C/C++ language binding for deploying C/C++ applications in SOAP Web Services …
