Cache memories

AJ Smith - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 1982 - dl.acm.org
Specific aspects of cache memories that are investigated include: the cache fetch algorithm (demand
versus prefetch), the placement and replacement algorithms, line size, store-…

Evaluating associativity in CPU caches

MD Hill, AJ Smith - IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1989 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The authors present new and efficient algorithms for simulating alternative direct-mapped
and set-associative caches and use them to quantify the effect of limited associativity on the …

[PDF][PDF] Branch prediction strategies and branch target buffer design

JKF Lee, AJ Smith - Computer, 1984 - Citeseer
This article presents a systematic approach to selecting good predictionstrategies, whichis
based on 26 program address traces grouped into four IBM 370 workloads (sci-entific, …

Size and charge isomer separation and estimation of molecular weights of proteins by disc gel electrophoresis

JL Hedrick, AJ Smith - Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1968 - Elsevier
A method has been found which distinguishes between a size isomer family of proteins (eg
bovine serum albumin polymers) and a charge isomer family of proteins (eg lactate …

Improving dynamic voltage scaling algorithms with PACE

JR Lorch, AJ Smith - ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation …, 2001 - dl.acm.org
This paper addresses algorithms for dynamically varying (scaling) CPU speed and voltage in
order to save energy. Such scaling is useful and effective when it is immaterial when a task …

A new redox cofactor in eukaryotic enzymes: 6-hydroxydopa at the active site of bovine serum amine oxidase

SM Janes, D Mu, D Wemmer, AJ Smith, S Kaur… - Science, 1990 - science.org
An active site, cofactor-containing peptide has been obtained in high yield from bovine serum
amine oxidase. Sequencing of this pentapeptide indicates: Leu-Asn-X-Asp-Tyr. Analysis of …

Sequential program prefetching in memory hierarchies

AJ Smith - Computer, 1978 - computer.org
(.oCz( (g Page 1 Memory transfers due to a cache miss are costly. Prefetching all memory
references in very fast computers can increase the effective CPU speed by 10 to 25 percent …

A class of compatible cache consistency protocols and their support by the IEEE futurebus

P Sweazey, AJ Smith - ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News, 1986 - dl.acm.org
Standardization of a high performance blackplane bus, so that it can accommodate boards
developed by different vendors, implies the need for a standardized cache consistency …

A potent synthetic peptide inhibitor of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

HC Cheng, BE Kemp, RB Pearson, AJ Smith… - Journal of Biological …, 1986 - Elsevier
As an important new reagent for studying the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a 20-residue
peptide has been synthesized that corresponds to the active site of the skeletal muscle …

Software strategies for portable computer energy management

JR Lorch, AJ Smith - IEEE Personal Communications, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Limiting the energy consumption of computers, especially portables, is becoming increasingly
important. Thus, new energy-saving computer components and architectures have been …
