The 36th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA ‘09) was held in Austin, between June 20th and 24th. ISCA is generally viewed as the top-tier academic conference on Computer Architecture. Many of multicore related papers are available online in Research Papers page.
Some interesting multicore related papers:
* Architecting Phase Change Memory as a Scalable DRAM Alternative
* Stream Chaining: Exploiting Multiple Levels of Correlation in Data Prefetching
* Architectural Core Salvaging in a Multi-Core Processor for Hard-Error Tolerance
* Rigel: An Architecture and Scalable Programming Interface for a 1000-core Accelerator
* Multi-Execution: Multicore Caching for Data-Similar Executions
* PIPP: Promotion/Insertion Pseudo-Partitioning of Multi-Core Shared Caches
* Achieving Predictable Performance through Better Memory Controller Placement in Many-Core CMPs
