  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Cost-Age-Time Data Organized Garbage Collection

    Creator:
    Lee, Dongjun
    Abstract:
    NAND flash based solid state drives (SSDs) require out-of-place updating due to the characteristics of flash memories. In addition, due to the mismatched granularity between read/write and erase operations, a cleaning policy involving garbage collection and wear leveling has to perform data migration incurring high overhead. Another challenge is that...

  • Instruction fetching, scheduling, and forwarding in a dynamic multithreaded processor

    Creator:
    Browning, Adam W.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic multithreaded processors attempt to increase the performance of a single sequential program by dynamically extracting threads from sources such as loop iterations. The scheduling of instructions in such a processor plays a vital role in the amount of thread level parallelism that can be extracted and thus the overall...
