1. Efficient Memory Modeling During Simulation and Native Execution
Abstract : Application performance on computer processors depends on a number of complex architectural and microarchitectural design decisions. Consequently, computer architects rely on performance modeling to improve future processors without building prototypes. READ MORE

2. A Slowdown Prediction Method to Improve Memory Aware Scheduling
Abstract : Scientific and technological advances in the area of integrated circuits have allowed the performance of microprocessors to grow exponentially since the late 1960's. However, the imbalance between processor and memory bus capacity has increased in recent years. READ MORE

3. Techniques for Enhancing the Efficiency of Transactional Memory Systems
Abstract : Transactional Memory (TM) is an emerging programming paradigm that drastically simplifies the development of concurrent applications by relieving programmers from a major source of complexity: how to ensure correct, yet efficient, synchronization of concurrent accesses to shared memory. Despite the large body of research devoted to this area, existing TM systems still suffer from severe limitations that hamper both their performance and energy efficiency. READ MORE

5. Characterization of Shared Resource Contention in Multi-core Systems
Abstract : Multi-core computers are infamous for being hard to use in time-critical systems due to execution-time variations as an effect of shared resource contention. In this thesis we study the problem of shared resource contention which occurs when multiple applications executing on different cores do not have exclusive ownership of a shared resource. READ MORE
