While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/p...
Abstract— In an effort to make processors more power efficient scratch pad memory (SPM) have been proposed instead of caches, which can consume majority of processor power. Howe...

Performance improvement solely through transistor scaling is becoming more and more difficult, thus it is increasingly common to see domain specific accelerators used in conjunc...
Performance evaluation of contemporary processors is becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of proper frameworks. Traditionally, cycle-accurate simulators have been exte...
