An instruction set architecture (ISA) suitable for future microprocessor design constraints is proposed. The ISA has hierarchical register files with a small number of accumulator...
In this paper, we describe a comprehensive layout methodology for bonded three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs). In bonded 3D integration technology, parts of a circuit ar...
We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
The combination of high-performance processing power and flexibility found in network processors (NPs) has made them a good solution for today’s packet processing needs. Similar...
This paper introduces a new Light Aspiration device for in vivo Soft TIssue Characterization (LASTIC). This device is designed to be used during surgery, and can undergo sterilizat...
