Implicitly-multithreaded processors

Babak Falsafi

This paper proposes the Implicitly-MultiThreaded (IMT) architecture to execute compiler-specified speculative threads on to a modified Simultaneous Multithreading pipeline. IMT reduces hardware complexity by relying on the compiler to select suitable threa ...

Object-Oriented Stable Storage Based on Mirroring

Jörg Kienzle

Stable storage can be seen as an ideal storage medium that, given a set of failure assumptions, protects user data from corruption or loss. The integrity of the stored data must be guaranteed even in the presence of crash failures. In this paper, we show h ...

JETTY: Filtering snoops for reduced energy consumption in SMP servers

Babak Falsafi

We propose methods for reducing the energy consumed by snoop requests in snoopy bus-based symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems. Observing that a large fraction of snoops do not find copies in many of the other caches, we introduce JETTY, a small, cache-l ...

Multiplex: Unifying conventional and speculative thread-level parallelism on a chip multiprocessor

Babak Falsafi

Recent proposals for Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) advocate speculative, or implicit, threading in which the hardware employs prediction to peel off instruction sequences (i.e., implicit threads) from the sequential execution stream and speculatively execute ...

IO-Lite: A Unified I/O Buffering and Caching System

Willy Zwaenepoel

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of IO-Lite, a unified I/O buffering and caching system for general-purpose operating systems. IO-Lite unifies all buffering and caching in the system, to the extent permitted by the hardware. In ...

Method and apparatus for a parallel data storage and processing server

Roger Hersch

The present invention concerns a parallel multiprocessor-multidisk storage server which offers low delays and high throughputs when accessing and processing one-dimensional and multi-dimensional file data such as pixmap images, text, sound or graphics. The ...

Concepts et mécanismes pour la mise en oeuvre d'un environnement d'édition coopérative sur un réseau à grande échelle

The following dissertation addresses one aspect of cooperative editing which has not been well examined until now : the consideration of hardware limitations imposed by a large scale distributed system (namely the Internet). This system model implies heter ...
