Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, Fifth Edition, explores the ways that
software and technology in the cloud are accessed by digital media, such as cell phones …

Increasing levels of microprocessor power dissipation call for new approaches at the
architectural level that save energy by better matching of on-chip resources to application …

A program profile attributes run-time costs to portions of a program's execution. Most
profiling systems suffer from two major deficiencies: first, they only apportion simple metrics …

This book deals with various aspects of scientific numerical computing. No at tempt was
made to be complete or encyclopedic. The successful solution of a numerical problem has …

Recent years have witnessed the wide adoption of RDMA in the cloud to accelerate first-
party workloads and achieve cost savings by freeing up CPU cycles. Now cloud providers …

As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache eficiency is
an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have …

With the ever-widening performance gap between processors and main memory, cache
memory, which is used to bridge this gap, is becoming more and more significant. Caches …

The current main memory (DRAM) access speeds lag far behind CPU speeds. Cache
memory, made of static RAM, is being used in today's architectures to bridge this gap. It …

The widening memory gap reduces performance of applications with poor data locality.
Therefore, there is a need for methods to analyze data locality and help application …

We investigate the effect that caches have on the performance of sorting algorithms both
experimentally and analytically. To address the performance problems that high cache miss …
