Summary

This research is investigating microarchitectural and architectural ways to tolerate latencies for a set of events -- memory latency, high-bandwidth low latency interconnect messaging, non-volatile memory writes, cross-processor communication -- and explore which solutions are useful to enterprise workloads and enterprise software usage models.
