There is a growing demand for network devices capable of examining the content of data packets in order to improve network security and provide application-specific services. Most...
The ever increasing gap between processor and memory speed, sometimes referred to as the Memory Wall problem [42], has a very negative impact on performance. This mismatch will be...
Scaling of CMOS feature size has long been a source of dramatic performance gains. However, the reduction in voltage levels has not been able to match this rate of scaling, leadin...
