In this paper, we present a simple analytical equation for capturing phase errors in 3-stage ring oscillators. The model, based on a simple but useful idealization of the ring osc...
There is an increasing need for obtaining a reasonably accurate estimate of energy dissipation in SoC designs. Array structures have a significant contribution to the total system...
Serializing instructions (SIs), such as writes to control registers, have many complex dependencies, and are difficult to execute out-of-order (OoO). To avoid unnecessary complexi...
The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
Memory leaks and memory corruption are two major forms of software bugs that severely threaten system availability and security. According to the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes Datab...
