Over the last decades, improvements in CPU speed have outpaced improvements in main memory and disk access rates by orders of magnitude, enabling the use of data compression techn...
Disk power management is becoming increasingly important in high-end server and cluster type of environments that execute dataintensive applications. While hardware-only approache...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
: Watchdogs are a well-known and widespread means to increase the safety of microprocessors. The programmer or the compiler must insert instructions to reset the watchdog. If the p...
The widespread presence of SIMD devices in today’s microprocessors has made compiler techniques for these devices tremendously important. One of the most important and difficul...
