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 …

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 …

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

Technical debt is a metaphor introduced by Cunningham to indicate" not quite right code
which we postpone making it right". Examples of technical debt are code smells and bug …

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

Modern processors use two or more levels ofcache memories to bridge the rising disparity
betweenprocessor and memory speeds. Compression canimprove cache performance by …

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 …

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 …

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 …
