  2. 1. Towards Low-Complexity Scalable Shared-Memory Architectures

    Author : Håkan Zeffer; Erik Hagersten; John Carter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shared memory; distributed shared memory; hardware-software trade-off; software coherence; coherence profiling; remote access cache; chip multiprocessor; simultaneous multi threading; simulation; workload characterization; statistical cache model; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : Plentiful research has addressed low-complexity software-based shared-memory systems since the idea was first introduced more than two decades ago. However, software-coherent systems have not been very successful in the commercial marketplace. We believe there are two main reasons for this: lack of performance and/or lack of binary compatibility. READ MORE

  4. 2. Strategies to Reduce Energy and Resources in Chip Multiprocessor Systems

    Author : Magnus Ekman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A new architectural style known as chip multiprocessor (CMP) has recently emerged, where two or more processor cores are manufactured on the same die. This architectural style comes with many promises such as high performance for applications with much thread-level parallelism (TLP) and shorter design times due to its modularized design. READ MORE

  5. 3. Schemes to Improve the Efficiency of Hardware Transactional Memory Systems

    Author : Mridha Mohammad Waliullah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transactional memory; parallel programming; chip-multiprocessor; multiprocessor;

    Abstract : In todays ubiquitous multiprocessor environment parallel programming becomesan important tool to reap the maximum gain. But the traditional lock-based parallelprogramming model is not attracting average programmers as the level of expertiseneeded is very high. READ MORE

  6. 4. Methods for Creating and Exploiting Data Locality

    Author : Dan Wallin; Erik Hagersten; Sverker Holmgren; David Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; data locality; temporal locality; spatial locality; prefetching; cache; cache behavior; cache coherence; snooping protocols; partial differential equation; shared-memory multiprocessor; chip multiprocessor; simulation; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : The gap between processor speed and memory latency has led to the use of caches in the memory systems of modern computers. Programs must use the caches efficiently and exploit data locality for maximum performance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Reducing Energy Consumption through Adaptive Shutdown Scheduling on a Chip-Multiprocessor

    Author : Mladen Nikitovic; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mobile terminals; CMP; energy; power consumption; scheduling;

    Abstract : There is seemingly a never-ending consumer demand for mobileterminals such as cellular phones and personal digitalassistants (PDAs). Each new generation of terminals comes withmore elaborate functions than in the previous generation. READ MORE
