      How to compare the performance of two SMT microarchitectures 

      Sazeides, Yiannakis; Juan, T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2001)
      In this paper we discuss methods and metrics for comparing the performance of two simultaneous multithreading microarchitectures. We identify conditions under which the instructions-per-cycle metric may be misleading for ...

      The impact of network structure on the stability of greedy protocols 

      Koukopoulos, D.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Nikoletseas, Sotiris E.; Spirakis, Paul G. (2003)
      A packet-switching network is stable if the number of packets in the network remains bounded at all times. A very natural question that arises in the context of stability and instability properties of such networks is how ...
