Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
In an out-of-order issue processor, instructions are dynamically reordered and issued to function units in their dataready order rather than their original program order to achiev...
Toolkits and other tools have dramatically reduced the time and technical expertise needed to design and implement graphical user interfaces (GUIs) allowing high-quality, iterativ...

VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
Aggressive hardware-based and software-based prefetch algorithms for hiding memory access latencies were proposed to bridge the gap of the expanding speed disparity between proces...
