With the shift towards chip multiprocessors (CMPs), exploiting and managing parallelism has become a central problem in computer systems. Many issues of parallelism management boi...
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) combine lithographically formed mechanical structures with electrical elements to create physical systems that operate on the scale of micr...
The last years have shown that there is no way to disregard the advantages provided by multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) architectures in the embedded systems domain. Using mu...
As chip complexity grows, design productivity boost is expected from reuse of large parts and blocks of previous designs with the design effort largely invested into the new parts...
In high-end processors, increasing the number of in-flight instructions can improve performance by overlapping useful processing with long-latency accesses to the main memory. Buf...
