As the number of cores on a chip increases and key applications become even more data-
intensive, memory systems in modern processors have to deal with increasingly large …

Chip multi-threaded (CMT) processors provide support for many simultaneous hardware
threads of execution in various ways, including simultaneous multithreading (SMT) and chip …

Data movement between the CPU and main memory is a first-order obstacle against improv
ing performance, scalability, and energy efficiency in modern systems. Computer systems …

Cache compression is a promising technique to increase on-chip cache capacity and to
decrease on-chip and off-chip bandwidth usage. Unfortunately, directly applying well-known …

Locating moving objects in a video sequence is the first step of many computer vision
applications. Among the various motion-detection techniques, background subtraction …

The memory system is a fundamental performance and energy bottleneck in almost all
computing systems. Recent system design, application, and technology trends that require …

With the widening gap between processor and memory speeds, memory system designers
may find cache compression beneficial to increase cache capacity and reduce off-chip …

As transistor density continues to grow at an exponential rate in accordance to Moore's law,
the goal for many Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) systems is to scale the number of on-chip …

Main memory (DRAM) consumes as much as half of the total system power in a computer
today, due to the increasing demand for memory capacity and bandwidth. There is a …

We consider the problem to determine the maximal number of satisfiable equations in a
linear system chosen at random. We make several plausible conjectures about the average …
