- Feedback Directed Prefetching: Improving the Performance and Bandwidth-Efficiency of Hardware Prefetchers
- High performance processors employ hardware data prefetching to reduce the negative performance impact of large main memory latencies. While prefetching improves performance substantially on many programs, it can significantly reduce performance on others. Also, prefetching can significantly increase memory bandwidth requirements. This paper proposes a mechanism that incorporates dynamic feedback...

- Intelligent Packet Discard Policies for Improved TCP Queue Management
- Recent studies have shown that suitably-designed packet discard policies can dramatically improve the performance of fair queueing mechanisms in internet routers. The Queue State Deficit Round Robin algorithm QSDRR preferentially discards from long queues, but introduces hysteresis into the discard policy to minimize synchronization among TCP flows. QSDRR provides higher...

- TCP Offload Through Connection Handoff
- This paper presents a connection handoff interface between the operating system and the network interface. Using this interface, the operating system can offload a subset of TCP connections in the system to the network interface, while the remaining connections are processed on the host CPU. Offloading can reduce computation and...
