Prior work shows that Rowhammer attacks---which flip bits in DRAM via frequent activations
of the same row (s)---are viable. Adversaries typically mount these attacks via instruction …

Recent benchmark suite releases such as Parsec specifically utilise the tightly coupled
cores available in chip-multiprocessors to allow the use of newer, high performance, models …

As multicore systems continue to grow in scale and on-chip memory capacity, the on-chip
network bandwidth and latency become problematic bottlenecks. Because of this …

As the number of cores in a chip multiprocessor (CMP) increases, the need for larger on-
chip caches also increases in order to avoid creating a bottleneck at the off-chip …

The practically attainable worst case power consumption for a computer system is a
significant design parameter and it is a very tedious process to determine it by manually …

Future many-core CMP designs that will integrate tens of processor cores on-chip will be
constrained by area and power. Area constraints make impractical the use of a bus or a …

Prohibitive simulation time with pre-silicon design models and unavailability of proprietary
target applications make microprocessor design very tedious. The framework proposed in …

Future CMP designs that will integrate tens of processor cores on-chip will be constrained by
area and power. Area constraints make impractical the use of a bus or a crossbar as the on …

Traditional coherence protocols present a set of difficult tradeoffs: the reliance of snoopy
protocols on broadcast and ordered interconnects limits their scalability, while directory …

In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), maintaining cache coherence can account for a major
performance overhead. Write-invalidate protocols adapted by most CMPs generate high …
