Data prefetching via helper threading has been extensively investigated on Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) or Virtual Multi-Threading (VMT) architectures. Although reportedly la...
During pseudorandom testing, a significant amount of energy and test application time is wasted for generating and for applying “useless” test vectors that do not contribute t...

-In high performance systems, process variations and fluctuations of operating environments have significant impact on the clock skew. Recently, hybrid structures of H-tree and m...
Tuning a configurable cache subsystem to an application can greatly reduce memory hierarchy energy consumption. Previous tuning methods use a level one configurable cache only, or...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
