Conventionally, signal net routing is almost always implemented as Steiner trees. However, non-tree topology is often superior on timing performance as well as tolerance to open f...
After many years of prefetching research, most commercially available systems support only two types of prefetching: software-directed prefetching and hardware-based prefetchers u...
In this work, we propose a dynamic power-aware issue queue in a general-purpose microprocessor for multimedia applications. Its resources can be adapted at runtime in accordance w...
Registers in processors generally contain words or, with the addition of multimedia extensions, short vectors of subwords of bytes or 16-bit elements. In this paper, we view the c...
To provide high dependability in a multithreaded system despite hardware faults, the system must detect and correct errors in its shared memory system. Recent research has explore...
