Simple Ideas
While many academics strive for complex solutions,
I am proud of my simple ideas.
- Adds a simple multicore hardware corollary to Amdahl's Law.
Amdahl's Law in the Multicore Era, Mark D. Hill & Michael R. Marty.
- Argues why sequential consistency may be better than relaxed
memory consistency models.
Multiprocessors Should Support Simple Memory Consistency Models,
Mark D. Hill.
- Shows that parallel computing is cost-effective
whenever "speedup" exceeds "costup."
Cost-Effective Parallel Computing,
David A. Wood & Mark D. Hill.
- Shows that fast hits for direct-mapped caches can lead to better
performance than for set-associative caches.
A Case for Direct-Mapped Caches,
Mark D. Hill.
- Partitions cache misses into the 3Cs: compulsory, capacity, & conflicts misses (but the rest of the paper is complex).
Evaluating Associativity in CPU Caches,
Mark D. Hill & Alan Jay Smith.
