We identify that a set of multimedia applications exhibit highly regular read-after-read (RAR) and read-after-write (RAW) memory dependence streams. We exploit this regularity to predict both RAW and RAR memory dependences. We also study how two previously proposed memory dependence prediction-based memory latency reduction techniques perform for this multimedia workload. In the first technique...

We investigate the feasibility of using instruction compression at some level in a multi-level memory hierarchy to increase memory system performance. Compression eeectively increases the memory size and the line size reducing the miss rate at the expense of increased access latency due to decompression delays. We analytically evaluate the impact of compression on the average memory access time...

The design supports fast access time, optimal utilization of temporal and spatial localities adaptive to given applications, and a simple dynamic fetching mechanism with different fetch sizes. Support for dynamically varying the fetch size makes the cache equally effective for general-purpose as well as multimedia applications. Simulation shows that the average memory access time of the propose...

introduction: even though there is a high prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome patients, there are very few reliable papers on the study of normal values and changes in sensory and motor latency parameters of the median nerve in the wrist region on the basis of age of patients .this retrospective study was on the basis of 5 years data (1998 -2003) from the electro diagnostic department of sh. s...

Enabling one way in set associative cache during operation is proposed in literature. However, this architecture degrades the average memory access time. This paper proposes an algorithm to map to certain way in set associative cache improving the performance. The address is mapped to certain way by certain transformations involving XOR'ing and shifting and bit selection. The line is accessed o...

The proposed system is based on analytical model of Router and queueing theory. This approach not only provides aggregate performance metrics such as average latency and throughput, but also feedback about the network characteristics such as buffer utilization, average latency per router and per flow at a finelevel of granularity. The proposed analytical model can predict the average packet lat...
