transistors the design of the SoC needs to be moved to a higher level of abstraction. We need to think in processors and interconnects rather than gates and wires. We discuss the n...
The increase of the web traffic has created the need for web switches that are able to balance the traffic to the server farms based on their contents (e.g. layer 7 switching). In...
This paper introduces the idea of using a User-Level Memory Thread (ULMT) for correlation prefetching. In this approach, a user thread runs on a general-purpose processor in main ...
While customizable processors aim at combining the flexibility of general purpose processors with the speed and power advantages of custom circuits, commercially available process...
Embedded real-time multimedia applications usually imply data parallel processing. SIMD processors embedded in SOCs are cost-effective to exploit the underlying parallelism. Howev...
