Virtual memory and virtual machines, which examined architecture support for protecting processes from each other via virtual memory and the role of virtual machines This installment, which puts it ...

Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level parallelism, prediction-based techniques, alternative architectures (VLIW, Vector and SIMD), ...

Understand how a memory hierarchy works and tradeoffs that affect performance, especially how a cache works, the principle of locality, what affects the performance, and how to design a cache system.

Presentation at the 2025 International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) at Waseda University in Tokyo by Steven Woo and Wendy Elsasser from Rambus and Taeksang Song, Samsung Electronics.

Computer engineering researchers have developed software using two new techniques to help computer chip designers improve memory systems. The techniques rely on 'performance cloning,' which can ...
