    • Exploring Optimal Cost-Performance Designs for RAW processors 

      Moritz, Csaba Andras; Yeung, Donald; Agarwal, Anant (1998-06)
      The semiconductor industry roadmap projects that advances in VLSI technology will permit more than one billion transistors on a chip by the year 2010. The MIT Raw microprocessor is a proposed architecture that strives to ...

    • Performance Tradeoffs in Multithreaded Processors 

      Agarwal, Anant (1991-04)
      High network latencies in large-scale multiprocessors can cause a significant drop in processor utilization. By maintaining multiple process contexts in hardware and switching among them in a few cycles, multithreaded ...

    • Shared Memory Versus Message Passing for Iterative Solution of Sparse, Irregular Problems 

      Chong, Frederic T.; Agarwal, Anant (1996-10)
      The benefits of hardware support for shared memory versus those formessage passing are difficult to evaluate without an in-depth study ofreal applications on a common platform. We evaluate the communicationmechanisms of ...
