The centralized structures necessary for the extraction of instruction-level parallelism (ILP)
are consuming progressively smaller portions of the total die area of chip multiprocessors …

Running multiple programs on a processor aims at increasing the throughput of that
processor. However, defining meaningful throughput metrics in a simulation environment is …

Symbiotic job scheduling exploits the fact that in a system with shared resources, the
performance of jobs is impacted by the behavior of other co-running jobs. By coscheduling …

Improving single-thread performance still remains an important challenge. Heterogeneous
multi-cores offer the potential of improving single-thread performance by providing a number …

Hitherto, in the design of microprocessors, a major barrier to greater single-thread
performance has been the inevitable limitation of a single microarchitectural solution being …
