If real number calculations are implemented as circuits, only a limited preciseness can be obtained. Hence, formal verification can not be used to prove the equivalence between th...

Branch mispredictions can have a major performance impact on high-performance processors. Multipath execution has recently been introduced to help limit the misprediction penaltie...
Designers of distributed embedded systems face many challenges in determining the appropriate tradeoffs to make when defining a system architecture or retargeting an existing desi...
The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...
