While general-purpose processors have only recently employed chip multiprocessor (CMP) architectures, network processors (NPs) have used heterogeneous multi-core architectures sin...
Improved branch prediction accuracy is essential to sustaining instruction throughput with today’s deep pipelines. We introduce piecewise linear branch prediction, an idealized ...
IP multicast was first proposed to improve the performance of applications that require group communications. Still, many years after its initial proposal, IP multicast is not wi...
This study deals with the Delay-Constrained Minimum Cost Loop Problem (DC-MCLP) of finding several loops from a source node. The DC-MCLP consists of finding a set of minimum cost ...
Code prioritization for testing promises to achieve the maximum testing coverage with the least cost. This paper presents an innovative method to provide hints on which part of co...
