- Accelerators for High Performance Computing Investigation
- For many years microprocessor single thread performance has increased at rates consistent with Moore's Law for transistors. In the 1970s-1990s the improvement was mostly obtained by increasing clock frequencies. Clock speeds are now improving slowly and microprocessor vendors are increasing the number of cores per chip to obtain improved performance....

- Microarchitecture-Based Introspection: A Technique for Transient-Fault Tolerance in Microprocessors
- This paper proposes Microarchitecture-Based Introspection MBI, a transient-fault detection technique, which utilizes the wasted processing bandwidth during long-latency cache misses for redundant execution of the instruction stream. MBI has modest hardware cost, requires minimal modifications to the existing microarchitecture, and is particularly well suited for memory-intensive applications. The evaluation reveals...

- Energy-Aware Microprocessor Synchronization: Transactional Memory Vs. Locks
- One important way in which multiprocessors differ from uniprocessors is in the need to provide programmers the ability to synchronize concurrent access to memory. Transactional memory was proposed as a way of improving throughput especially when the rate of synchronization conflict is low. This paper explores power implications of transactional...
