Fast Speculative Address Generation and Way Caching for Reducing L1 Data Cache Energy

by Dan Nicolaescu, Babak Salamat, Alex Veidenbaum
"... Abstract — L1 data caches in high-performance processors continue to grow in set associativity. Higher associativity can significantly increase the cache energy consumption. Cache access latency can be affected as well, leading to an increase in overall energy consumption due to increased execution ..."

time. At the same time, the static energy consumption of the cache increases significantly with each new process generation. This paper proposes a new approach to reduce the overall L1 cache energy consumption using a combination of way caching and fast, speculative address generation. A 16-entry way

The Generative Lexicon

by James Pustejovsky - Computational Linguistics , 1991
"... this paper, I will discuss four major topics relating to current research in lexical semantics: methodology, descriptive coverage, adequacy of the representation, and the computational usefulness of representations. In addressing these issues, I will discuss what I think are some of the central prob ..."

Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation

by Luc Devroye , 1986
"... This is a survey of the main methods in non-uniform random variate generation, and highlights recent research on the subject. Classical paradigms such as inversion, rejection, guide tables, and transformations are reviewed. We provide information on the expected time complexity of various algorith ..."

Generating Representative Web Workloads for Network and Server Performance Evaluation

by Paul Barford, Mark Crovella , 1997
"... One role for workload generation is as a means for understanding how servers and networks respond to variation in load. This enables management and capacity planning based on current and projected usage. This paper applies a number of observations of Web server usage to create a realistic Web worklo ..."

It also addresses the technical challenges to satisfying this large set of simultaneous constraints on the properties

Multiscalar Processors

by Gurindar S. Sohi, Scott E. Breach, T. N. Vijaykumar - In Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1995
"... Multiscalar processors use a new, aggressive implementation paradigm for extracting large quantities of instruction level parallelism from ordinary high level language programs. A single program is divided into a collection of tasks by a combination of software and hardware. The tasks are distribute ..."

Addresses are disambiguated dynamically, many in parallel, and processing waits only for true data dependence

An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure

by Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth - DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES , 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."

This paper provides a high-level overview of the current workflow management methodologies and software products. In addition, we discuss the infrastructure technologies that can address the limitations of current

Fast approximate energy minimization via graph cuts

by Yuri Boykov, Olga Veksler, Ramin Zabih - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 2001
"... In this paper we address the problem of minimizing a large class of energy functions that occur in early vision. The major restriction is that the energy function’s smoothness term must only involve pairs of pixels. We propose two algorithms that use graph cuts to compute a local minimum even when v ..."

Feature detection with automatic scale selection

by Tony Lindeberg - International Journal of Computer Vision , 1998
"... The fact that objects in the world appear in different ways depending on the scale of observation has important implications if one aims at describing them. It shows that the notion of scale is of utmost importance when processing unknown measurement data by automatic methods. In their seminal works ..."

works, Witkin (1983) and Koenderink (1984) proposed to approach this problem by representing image structures at different scales in a so-called scale-space representation. Traditional scale-space theory building on this work, however, does not address the problem of how to select local appropriate

Gene selection for cancer classification using support vector machines

by Isabelle Guyon, Jason Weston, Stephen Barnhill, Vladimir Vapnik, Nello Cristianini - Machine Learning
"... Abstract. DNA micro-arrays now permit scientists to screen thousands of genes simultaneously and determine whether those genes are active, hyperactive or silent in normal or cancerous tissue. Because these new micro-array devices generate bewildering amounts of raw data, new analytical methods must ..."
