Improving Memory Performance Using Intelligent Memory

102 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2002.Alternatively, the memory can directly execute memory-intensive code sections. We propose a compiler and run-time algorithm to break out the code into sections with uniform memory and compute behavior. These sections are statically or dynamically mapped on the memory or the main processor based on their affinity. In addition, processor and memory overlap their execution as much as possible. We show that the resulting speedups are close and often higher than ideal speedups on a more expensive machine with two identical main processors.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
