The floating-point unit in the Synergistic Processor Element of the 1st generation multi-core CELL Processor is described. The FPU supports 4-way SIMD single precision and intege...
Conventional cache models are not suited for real-time parallel processing because tasks may flush each other’s data out of the cache in an unpredictable manner. In this way th...

It is now widely accepted that the CMOS technology implementing irreversible logic will hit a scaling limit beyond 2016, and that the increased power dissipation is a major limiti...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...
