My Thesis, "Hardware Performance Monitoring in Multiprocessors"

Jan. 19, 1996. My thesis has been submitted to the review committee and will be updated after I have received their comments. The defense is scheduled on Jan. 26 at 11AM in LP473.
Feb. 14, 1996. I'm working on *FINAL* updates as suggested by the review committee. These changes are relatively minor, mostly involving improved clarity in some areas. The manuscript (enclosed in the postscript files below) is currently considered final and is being proofread for errors.
April 20, 1996. The FINAL copy is done. It's too late to change anything now ;-).
