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 …

A significant part of future microprocessor real estate will be dedicated to 12 or 13 caches.
These on-chip caches will heavily impact processor performance, power dissipation, and …

CACTI 5.1 is a version of CACTI 5 fixing a number of small bugs in CACTI 5.0. CACTI 5 is
the latest major revision of the CACTI tool for modeling the dynamic power, access time …

This paper describes EM-Based Detection of Deviations in Program Execution (EDDIE), a
new method for detecting anomalies in program execution, such as malware and other code …

The last line of defense in the cache hierarchy before going to off-chip memory is very critical
in chip multiprocessors (CMPs) from both the performance and power perspectives. We …

This paper presents Spectral Profiling, a new method for profiling program execution without
instrumenting or otherwise affecting the profiled system. Spectral Profiling monitors EM …

Memory accesses often account for about half of a microprocessor system's power
consumption. Customizing a microprocessor cache's total size, line size, and associativity to …

During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and
development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions …

Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) combine large amounts of parallel hardware with
fast context switching among thousands of active threads to achieve high performance …

Caches contribute to much of a microprocessor system's power and energy consumption.
Numerous new cache architectures, such as phased, pseudo-set-associative, way …
