Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...
High performance processors use checkpointing to rapidly recover from branch mispredictions and possibly other exceptions. We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes u...
We examine secure computing paradigms to identify any new architectural challenges for future general-purpose processors. Some essential security functions can be provided by diffe...
Digital signal processors provide specialized SIMD (single instruction multiple data) operations designed to dramatically increase performance in embedded systems. While these ope...
We present the TM3270 media-processor, the latest TriMedia VLIW processor, tuned to address the performance demands of standard definition video processing, combined with embedded...
