This paper presents Heracles, an open-source, functional, parameterized, synthesizable
multicore system toolkit. Such a multi/many-core design platform is a powerful and versatile …

The performance of modern many-core platforms strongly depends on the effectiveness of
using their complex cache and memory structures. This indicates the need for a memory …

As we enter an era of exascale multicores, the question of efficiently supporting a shared
memory model has become of paramount importance. On the one hand, programmers …

In this paper, we introduce Therma, a thermal-aware run-time thread migration mechanism
for managing temperature fluctuations in nanophotonic networks. Nanophotonics is one of …

Advantages-significantly reduces traffic on high-locality workloads up to 14x reduction in
traffic in some benchmarks-simple to implement and verify (indep. of core count, no transient …

For certain applications involving chip multiprocessors with more than 16 cores, a
directoryless architecture with fine-grained and partial-context thread migration can …

Chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) have become the mainstream parallel architecture in recent
years; for scalability reasons, designs with high core counts tend towards tiled CMPs with …

We introduce the concept of deadlock-free migration-based coherent shared memory to the
NUCA family of architectures. Migration-based architectures move threads among cores to …

Heterogeneous computing is a promising approach to tackle the thermal, power and energy
constraints posed by modern desktop and embedded computing systems. However, by also …

As transistor technology continues to scale, the architecture community has experienced
exponential growth in design complexity and significantly increasing implementation and …
